Floppies

[Clippy]

Was in my local Tesco at the weekend and whilst in the electrical section noticed they had a shelf with boxes of floppy disks on clearance for about £2.30'ish.

I think someone should tell them the floppy disk is dead and that they would be better off sticking them in the bin. Or maybe the credit crunch is affecting them more than they are admitting - Tesco, every little helps!

Sort of thing my wife would buy, knowing they were utterly useless: "but were a bargain!"

I needed some recently to load some SATA drivers during a Vista install, so they can still be useful/necessary.

floppy disks are dead??

Are we talking 5¼ or 3½ inch here?

Maybe they will become 'collectors items'?
Mr ZB is selling certain casette tapes for about 40 quid each

For £40 there had better be some very good "premium" content on those tapes.
