I didn't think they were so pricey. I bought a 3.5" USB external
floppy drive from newegg.com a couple years ago for less than U$20 .... to
facilitate my sneaker net. I'm dreading the day that my last 1541 floppy
drive for my C=64 dies though.

... I never put on a pair of shoes until I've worn them at least five years.
