I just can't wrap my head around this. Micro Center's latest flyer shows that they sell 10 floppies for $9??? Really?? What are these guys thinking?! I thought people give away BULK BOXES of these floppies! The store sells THUMB DRIVES with a million times more memory for a lesser price! Am I missing something major or are these people really out of their minds?

I remember my dad got a huge box of floppies in the late 90's for $10. We barely used any of them. Could be worse, this one doesn't even come with floppy disks. https://www.google.com/shopping/pro...cNcfusAWXq4LQCg This guy from 2008 had this to say. quote:I have to rely on quality diskettes for my pictures on my digital camera, these work great.

i still think the amiga only having high not double density disk drives was its greatest failing because it was out-of-the-box incompatbile with ibm/pcs on the most common transfer medium at the time

buying ten in this day and age is excessive. unlike condoms weed and ammunition, these can be reused. and any normal person should only need one unless they are some kind of nerdy otaku

I remember the $10 cheapy box of 10 floppy disks in the early 90s. At least two of the disks would have CRC errors on them
