Question about floppy disks

[Zero]

I still use them.
In fact I bought some last year form ebay.
They were new and sealed, £8.99 for 50, I think.

Although I am begining to use HD floppys more now, as I have an Amiga 4000/40.

This I've never understood. It's extremely rare for me that my floppies break down. I got floppies closer to being 15 years old that still works like a charm.

I have to agree and the ones I got from ebay were brand new and they work fine, I have used most of them now and they have been in use for about the last six months.

I have tried refomating "dead" floppys, this sometimes works, but in the main it does not.
