But man, you only can get a few a month that way. Now if I >could only figure out a way to get some free Zip disks .... :T Here's how it works...you pay for them. The reason you pay for them is because they are valuable to you (ie. you have a real use for them). Diskettes are relatively useless items nowadays, that's you can get them for free. The question you ask yourself is, is the item of enough value to me for me to pay the asking price. If not, you don't buy it. Or, like me, you wait for a sale... Don't expect to find anything that's in demand for free. --Mike of course you're not interested in paying for anything...
