Lawrence,
Hi. In my humble opinion, the best source for floppies in bulk is your local thrift
store(Salvation Army, Goodwill, etc.). I get 5.25" 360K floppies,3.5" 1.22meg
floppies,3.5" 720K floppies, I have even seen 8" floppies from time to time. I
usually offer 10 cents a disk and the clerk says OK.
