Yeah, I'm kinda glad I have a stock of about 500 of them from the days when
floppy drives saw more use.

I think sales have dipped such that companies no longer care about being the
best. The days of chucking them into a desk drawer for a year are over. ;\

Another thing I've noticed is that a disk that will work on one pc won't
necessarily work on another. Was using 3Ms and had to format the disk three
or four times before I could use it to boot a machine to format it. Same OS,
just couldn't get it to read in both.
