I'm lucky if I save mine for 5 WEEKS...

OK, I stand corrected.  In my defense, *I* wasn't the one who wrote out
the check...heck, I didn't even HAVE a checking account in 1985 (no money,
either...the more things change, the more they stay the same).  :-)

Hunh.  I *know* I didn't spend that much for floppies.  But the store I bought
from has always been noted for pretty good disk prices.  I DO remember an
office supply store here that was selling boxes of 10 3.5" disks for $79.95 a
couple years ago...I notice they no longer sell disks.  (Gee, maybe they didn't
sell too many....?)
