Floppy disks are very cheap nowadays but their quality is very bad. It is very rare for a diskette to last for a long time now. But I have an old tomsrtbt floppy that has been with me for 1+ years already. Now, I have an lnx-bbc credit card size cd for emergencies. Holden _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
