Nice. You probably can unload them if you find the right venue. Plenty of stuff out there still running on 5 1/4.

For sure, looks like last run sealed new old stock is going for 2-5 dollars per disk at the moment. Back in the late 90s and early oughts I was getting retail bulk for 1 penny per disk, 3m, elephant memory systems, Polaroid, Sony, memorex, BASF, etc etc. Over the years they have paid back 3x to what I have vested in my Commodore habit.

Oh man, different colors. Now you can sort your subjects by color. Awesome.

Tbh, think of the stereotypical atheist communist FBI child molester trying to recover your chrome history from a floppy disc.

Those non monogamous syphilis riddled faggots would never think to flip it over to get to the “good stuff “.

Hilarious.

Not because it’s hidden on the reverse. But because they will die from aids.
