Re: It's another triumph of crapitalism ... I really don't understand how they can manufacture these, ship them across the ocean to a distributor, the distributor ships them to a dealer, and the dealer sells them to me for $10, and someone makes a profit at each step. Making a floppy drive (even not a very good one) still requires some precision manufacturing. If all they had to do was pick them up off the ground (like a rock), put it in a box, ship it across the ocean, to the distributor, to the dealer, and finally to me, I'd have expected to have to pay more than $10 for it. ...... It's only by the virtues of "capitalism" that you can buy a working floppy drive for $10.
