Re: 3.5" DD Diskettes

[Jeff Thomas <a2forever@usa.net>]

A local retailer in my region, stocks them here in New Zealand. They're
the only floppy disks, I can still buy 'new', whereas nearly half of disks
purchased second-hand are dead. Anything critical, goes on the new ones.
The only downside is price is slowly creeping upwards, as demand drops. In
general, floppy disks sales are on downward slide, as blank CD-Rs and
DVD-Rs are taking over...

I use these disks for three different computer types: Commodore Amiga
(A500/A1200), Apple Macintosh Plus and Apple IIe/IIGS. I find that those
disks that fail on one computer, might work on another...
