i knew that about the airlines.
i assumed it was for security reasons.

though some must of upgraded to a floppy emulator or wireless right?


i do know people with classic PC's love to use floppies.
though it looks like he is just selling the 3 1/2" disks.
lot of people still want 5 1/4" inch floppies for the 8 bit systems.

still neat the dude is recycling floppies.
