Archiving - isn't it wonderful. I've got old (paper) photos of my grandfather that were taken in the 1910. Do you think anyone will be able to read my CD's in 100 years to look at all my photos?

So I'm willing to help a brother out. I am selling unused 3.5" floppies for $400 a piece WHILE THEY LAST. Jump in and get them early, they won't last at these prices.
