Take what you want from the article, but I thought the end paragraph,
noting that Tom Persky of floppydisk.com is 73 and is only planning to
handle things for 5 more years. After that, he thinks the company will
not transfer to anyone.
Interesting thoughts there.

Floppydisk.com also sells 100 promotional disks (no working disks) for $12. They also sell
5.25 nonworking ones with different colors that can be used for projects. I think those
would be nice for making art projects at schools, mancaves, and home offices. Good coffee
coasters like the old days too.
