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...
