As did I. Nice that they are still available for around $20. There are things I like about the 3.5” floppy. Durability and ease/cheapness of mailing for one thing. The CDs require about $2.10 extra for postage, case and padded mailing envelope. Yeah, you can send them in a plain envelope and take a chance that they won't get there intact . . . or will be stolen. But NOBODY steals 3.5” floppies.

Lol. Good point.
Some of our equipment and the PCs that run them use floppy disks. We had to search the Internet for a 5.25” floppy drive and floppy disks. Paid $20 for a box. A lot more than I would have paid many years ago. Lol. Supply and demand.
The equipment is old but it would cost tens of thousands of dollars to replace.
