Time to start stockpiling?
I did that YEARS ago:when the stores started dumping 5.25 inch ones.Bought about 20 boxes.And have  several big boxes of 3.5 inchFunny thing is I see a box now and again in the thrift store and have picked up a few.Just be sure to store in dry place; a damp basement or garage or outbuilding is no good for keeping anything but root vegetables.

Wry admission: very seldom use  any floppy.These days its CD/DVD/downloads and usb drives.When I finally get real classic Commodre and Amigas set back up (instead of AF) then floppies will get used again.Probably need to archive my floppy-based program collection;and scan the manuals,too.
