I thought floppy diskettes of any size had joined rotary dial telephones, typewriters, mechanical tv tuners, cassette tapes, car radios with pushbutton presets, vacuum tubes, and windup alarm clocks. Of course I could be wrong.

Anybody have a need for 3.5" diskettes?

Or some nifty expandable diskette holders as shown here:

If so, please make offer.

Hey! Vacuum tubes haven't entirely disappeared. I have a modern stereo set which uses entirely vacuum tube amplification from the moving coil cartridge pre-pre-amp to the control pre-amp to the two power amps.

I must admit that to the best of my knowledge no vacuum tubes are made in America, Britain, or Western Europe. Think Soviet Bloc.

Because Russia and China could not compete with the West in solid state electronics, and because vacuum tubes were not nearly as sensitive to massive magnetodynamic events (atomic and hydrogen bombs) the Soviets went right along making vacuum tubes. This to the delight of us reactionary curmudgeons who enjoy REAL high fidelity.
