An opinion about floppy disks and Tandy brand disks. As long as a disk is certiified, they are pretty much the same regardless of what brand name, if any is on them. Tandy brand equipment us often times more expensive than what you can get from discount stores (and that includes the famous name brands as well). An advantage of getting a famous name brand disk is that they often have a "Full Lifetime Warranty." That may not mean a lot legally, but in practice if you send a bad disk or a bad box of disks which you may collect over the course of time back to the brand name manufacturer, they will usually send you replacement disks. You sometimes have to pay the postage (depending of the brand manufacturer), but you'll still come out ahead since you're not just throwing the "guarenteed" disks in the trash (or making coasters out of them for your mug of coffee). Good luck with your dive, disks, files, etc. +Rick+
