 Be careful, there. It depends on who the users were :-)

 I've had lots of floppies from ex-employees of computer 
 companies, and the 
 ones with hand-written labels often contain rather interesting stuff 
 (unreleased products, design documentation, unreleased source 
 code etc.)

 Unless you *know* who the users were, don't automatically 
 dismiss the contents 
 as boring...
  I still fully intend to inventory the contents where readable. The ones that
apperear to be in Korean look very interesting. Many have a part number in english that
maps to a panasonic portable terminal similar to the Radio Shack PT210. Might be ROM
source, might be just a co-incidence. Any one on the list know Korean that could at least
verify the language?
