Yessireebob, me to. I do a fair amt. of travelling, and I like the sturdier
case of the 3.5" microfloppies. (tho, if I could find more 2" drives, I'd
be _really_ happy then! ;-)

Sure they are... AAMAF, 3M is doing such a large business in computer media
they spun off a separate company to do it. It's called Imation, and their
logo is a hand waving a wand, with lots of plusses, x's and o's (and prolly
pixie dust as well) in the wake of the wand.
Frankly, 3M/Imation are my favorite, as I've only had one fail on me (in
any format) despite 15 years of use... and it was run over by a car.
Speaking of Fuji, do they still make 2" media?
