Looks like someone is giving away vintage floppy disks near Kingston, NY)
Not my thing but I figured someone would be interested https://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/zip/d/kingston-free-ancient-computer-gea...
If it were closer to me I’d go pick it up Sent from: My extremely complicated, hand held electronic device.

"Ancient"????! Who's he calling ancient? Those are *modern 3.25" floppies! *I still have a drawerful or two of those (though I haven't actually used them for a while, now). *Ancient *floppies are 5.5" in a silly flexible sleeve (and I still have some of those too).

What are 8" classified as then? __ I am glad someone is giving them away rather than shredding them because of worries about PII.

If anyone finds any 3.25" or 5.5" floppy disks anywhere, I'm sure they'd be pretty notable. - Dave
Yes I was wondering about those dimensions myself :) On Wed, Sep 29, 2021 at 9:27 PM David Riley via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:
