They're currently out right now.  I'll keep an eye peeled.

Thanks to everyone for their encouragement and suggestions.

Hopefully within a couple of weeks the purchase will show up and I'll 
try and keep folks (if interested) posted on how I do with recovering 
files from 20 year-old floppies.

Assuming I have some measure of success getting the disks transfered 
over, then what?

I set up some sort of Apple emulator to run an AceWriter/Magic 
Writer/ASCII text editor of some kind?

Is this best done under Windows (I have 32-bit XP or Vista and 64-bit 
Windows) or Linux (I'm a newb) of some kind?

Thanks again, this has been a long time coming.

Fingers crossed in The Dalles, Oregon...
