Re: 5.25" floppys - are they gone?

I don't know that it's not that they aren't being made anymore, but they 
certainly are a lot harder to land your hands on them.  One place that might 
be a good place to look is WalMart or KMart. I know that they don't have them 
(at least in stock) at our local CompUSA here in Overland Park, KS though I 
didn't try to call them to see if they could order them as I don't have 2 
hours to sit on hold on the phone waiting on a customer service representative 
to finally pick it up.
