Don, about a month ago I cleaned out an old file cabinet and threw away a 
big
paper grocery bag full of floppies that were old out of date software from 
years ago.
There was a stack of 8" floppies in there about as high as they are wide.
That was the second batch I've thrown out in the last couple of years.  The 
first batch
had some huge floppies in it.  11" maybe?  Is that what they were, I can't 
remember but
they were huge.  I had a bunch of them too.  In the old days my appraisers 
form fill software
came on floppies.  Sometimes just a yearly upgrade of the software would 
have 20 or 30 discs
that had to be slowly and laboriously installed.  Now it's all just 
downloaded.
