Re: floppy disks

Came across something interesting over the weekend: the front page of the J&R Computer catalog lists a 30-pack of Sony 1.4MB floppy disks for $0. Yep, $0. Initial cost is $9.99, reduced by $6.99 from a sale, and a further $3 from a mail-in rebate.

So it seems that the story of warehouses full of unsellable floppies is true. It remains to be seen whether the death of the floppy is accepted by the time the iMac launches.
