Haven't seen "new" 5.25 floppies for pushing 10 years and those were HD unfit 
for a 180k drive.  8" floppies (either SS or DS, I've got a Model 2 and a 
T6k) I haven't seen offered new for over 15.  On this list I've read about 
the difficulty finding 720k 3.5" rather than the HD type.

Let's get real. According to the CBO's report, in the current fiscal 
year the U.S. government is gorging on some $2,142 billion of revenues, 
consisting of taxes, fees, charges, fines, and other species of 
extractions from the people's purses. This sum works out to 
approximately $7,500 for every man, woman, and child resident in this 
country, or $30,000 for a family of four average persons. Perhaps some 
of those people feel they are getting benefits worth at least this much. 
I myself don't have that feeling.   --  Robert Higgs
