Search for Floppy Disks
I have just got back from the shops and I am frustrated. I have an older computer that doesn’t have a CD burner but has a floppy drive.
I have to post off Ingenuity‘s PAYG info off to the ATO and the only option that would work from my PC is the floppy. Of course we don’t have them on hand so I had to go shopping.
I understand that floppy disks aren’t the latest technology but I still thought that they would be quite accessible. How wrong was I? Maybe I should’ve taken a drive out to Ipswich. I suppose Orion Springfield is at the fore front of everything new and shiny.
When I finally found somewhere that had floppy disks, I almost had a heart attack at the price they wanted for them.
I feel like I’m turning into my Grandies with the stories of, “I remember when the 50 cent soft serve cones were only 30 cents and we used to have to wash up for a month to get that 30 cents”. Maybe that’s a mild exaggeration… I don’t think the 30 cent soft serve cones were around back then…. lol…
