Eight-inch

I visited a shop in "Siberia" which I hadn't visited in a long time today.
they had redecorated, and in the inner-most room, they had a "50% off" shelf.
They had several sealed packs of eight-inch floppies, BASF-made. Their price?
Five crowns! And then fifty percent off that, that's 2,50, or 25 US cents. I
got two to begin with (I only had some change, and wans't aware that the
discount was referring to the 5 kr merchandise. I also got some Token Ring
NICs, a TR cable and a sealed case of 5?" DD floppies at the same price.
Some things I did't get:
A lot of WANG things; several ISA cards with BNC and TNC connectors, printer
adaptors (boxes with BNC and Centronics connectors), baluns.
Original Novell NE2000 cards. Bad cards, but nice to some collectors, I
suppose, and useful for programmers.
Odd PhoneNet concentrators.

Getting TV from Iraq at all is kinda cool - you can get propaganda in English
at 1900 BST, and see the guy with the moustache almost any time. When they
show anime it's even cooler...
