Well good!  I was wondering what to do with these, so, knowing that I don't
have to feel I should gouge someone for them, I can give them away.

  I see there are
floppy diskettes being auctioned off on eBay.  I =
remember too that there was some discussion about where one might get =
some hard-sectored diskettes.  Well,folks, I have a box of new ones!  =
Though the box was ruined, the plastic bag inside protected the media, =
so they were undamaged by the moisture which got in due to a damaged =
shrink-wrap on the box. =20 
You know, it isn't that hard to find these (despite what everyone seems
to claim.)  Take a look at http://www.athana.com/, specifically at part
number 47-0801 on the "diskettes" page :-).
