This was an interesting read. Yes, there really is a company that's still making money from selling old floppy disks.

I've got a USB floppy drive somewhere in my parts bin. I've also got a few retro computers with built-in floppy drives, too. I'd been looking for someone who still sold those things... and I think I like the idea of buying 50 recycled ones from this guy's page for $20.
Good looking out! I know an oldhead like me might be able to put a few dollars in this guy's pocket. He even has brand new 5.25" disks, too!

Friendly Dictator So what can be superior when compared with paying out half the price for brand name children? wow, if brand name children are on sale, maybe i can stop buying all these cheap knockoff children Bibby OK... even I'll admit that the Oakland Raiders' performance might be a valid reason to use the interesting words. |

@Sean Indeed!
@fireball3k That would be cool - let me know if you do anything fun with floppies! I haven't used a real floppy disk in a while, but I bought a floppy drive emulator so I could back up my old Tandy 1000 RLX PC in 2020.
