WARNING - Glenfiddich tins are only just too narrow and suitable only (grabbed) for wife's sewing needs, again after suitable disposals. * Agreed - but does anyone know of a NZ user of the discs (preferably a charity) which would like my 100's of the things in varying condition? (Acorn E-formatted in the main) Likewise, DSDD 3.5", at low cost - I'm sick of the things cluttering my study after transferring the club collection of PD to hard drive.
