I'll see your 5.25 and 2.5 floppies, and raise you my magnetic tape deck
with the FORTH data interface.

hey guys,
Sony announced they would no longer make the 3.5" floppy.  This seems to
herald the demise of the format.
Here's a link or two

It's in this neatorama post.
http://www.neatorama.com <http://www.neatorama.com/> 

and more boringly here at pcmag
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2363055,00.asp

Now I know you still need them to do your sysdefs and reconciles,
especially if you have old Sun boxes.  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.
Free Shipping if you enter promo code "letterbug".

Later,
David
