"2x as much as PC ones!" Do I take this to mean that you "waste" money
buying preformatted floppy disks? Buy good quality disks and format them
yourself. And no I'm not being tightfisted!:) Good floppies, formatted or
not, are still premium priced. Whether it says formatted for Mac or IBM on
the box is totally irrelevant!

Cheers
