Sorry to hear that, for the few of us that have them, they are a really
nice option.  I can read PC files and Mac files on my IIe from the office,
rather than going blue disk, I just e-mail them to my PC at the office.

I just recently sold my last spare one, If you have one you are not using,
please post it here for others to use, they are in demand!
