But the best advice is just avoid floppy disks if you
possibly can. Fry's has a 1 GB USB flash drive for US$15
after the rebate. That's 700 floppies' worth and it fits

Lots of eggs in a basket, and you know the rule about eggs and a basket.
They had a 128 MB drive for three bucks.
Floppies are obsolete.
But there are a lot of "obsolete" machines out there, in schools,
Boys & Girls Clubs, hobbyist basements, less-developed countries, etc.

Is "common sense" really valid?
For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that
whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins
are mud people.
However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong.
