ON a slightly different subject.

I haven't heard anyone discuss the financial status of floppy drive and diskette manufacturers.

It seems that floppy drive and diskette manufacturers must be hurting badly. Where are they making any money? The drives go for next to nothing and the diskettes are being given away with rebates.

I keep expecting the biggies in this area to give it up as unprofitable.

comments?
