It has become impossible to get double-sided floppies at any reasonable
price!  Anyone care to speculate on why?  I've tried all the distributors
I know about.  I need Sony double-sided bulk, and no one has them, and
there has been a severe shortage since November of last year.  Certain
retail outlets have a handful of boxes, but I haven't been able to find
any place with more than 200.

In case anyone wonders why I need so many floppies, well, my 2000 isn't
here yet, so I don't have a hard disk, and I'm working on Metafont.
Which as we all know is a large program.  :-)

Oh, my email address is no longer rocky!rokicki *or* sushi!rokicki;
both of these machines are or soon will be retired.  Try polya!rokicki
for now, until I get a more permanent account elsewhere.
