What is the trade in value for...
Win 98 boot floppy. It's high density floppy mind you.

It's always time for cake and ice cream! Unless it's too hot. Then it's Cakewalk and ice cream. That way you can have your cake and eat it too if ya want to! Am I making cents?
Happy May Ooops Day !

Hi,
My neighbor had one of those he was trying to keep alive ... it was sad ... so on my next upgrade, I gave him my lowest that would have been trashed and dumped, and wouldn't you know it ... with proper setup, W10 and F-Secure, 2 years later it's still working and he can play WoW on it just fine!
Music is not about notes and chords! My poem is not about the computer or monitor or letters! It's about how I was able to translate it from my insides!

Gosh, I remeber the bad old days of unwieldy floppies.

Heck, I remember when we were thrilled with this new storage media: 8" floppies (that held 80kb each!). Heh...

I remember how excited I was when I replaced one of the DSDD 5-1/4 floppies in my Kaypro 16 with a 10M Seagate MFM drive.
MS-Dos, CP/M, dBase II, MS C ... I thought it would be impossible to fill that monster hard drive.

I still remember paying $540 for a 20Mb hard drive... Was VERY happy to do so at that time as well!

Apparently that floppy may be worth several billion dollars and coincidently, this article came across my homepage this morning (and I quote from it): http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/govt-report-feds-spend-billions-to-run-ancient-technology/ar-BBtshjn?ocid=spartandhp "The Defense Department's Strategic Automated Command and Control System, which is used to send and receive emergency action messages to U.S. nuclear forces. The system is running on a 1970s IBM computing platform, and still uses 8-inch floppy disks to store data. "Replacement parts for the system are difficult to find because they are now obsolete," GAO said. The Pentagon is initiating a full replacement and says the floppy disks should be gone by the end of next year. The entire upgrade will take longer."

Some of my samplers run on single sided discs, which can get expensive. Lucky that I picked up a lot of them a few years ago for pennies. Anywhere from 2.00 to 20.00 a pop now depending on condition.
A deep chesty bawl echoes from rimrock to rimrock, rolls down the mountain, and fades into the far blackness of the night. It is an outburst of wild defiant sorrow, and of contempt for all the adversities of the world. - Aldo Leopold
