Small but Important

I picked something up today that seems trivial. It was inexpensive, coming to $11. Nonetheless, it's something more important than most people realize.

A box of DS/DD floppies.

You know you've been around this hobby far too long when you know just how nice it is to open up a fresh new box of disks that will actually work in your 800K drives.

Granted, they're NOS, and there may be one or two that don't format quite correctly, but having a few good disks is never a bad thing, especially when you have a floppy-driven 512Ke currently in service...

I know the feeling. Also just bought 20 from our Dutch Craigslist. Nice to have!

although I use my FloppyEmu a lot I must say.
