It's frustrating that one has to buy 50 diskettes to get the discount.

Of course the best way to do back ups is to rotate the disks in groups of threes. One would do three back ups in groups A, B and C, then do the next back up on A. If the back up size was 16 disks, then you would need 50 diskettes.

Some diskettes had bad sectors. So, the 50 pack was reasonable.

I don't think my backup habits were very good when the Commodore 64 was my main computer. Still, I never had any problems with any of my disks. Even many years later when I got an adapter to hook up the disk drive to a PC to copy all the data over things still worked fine. I still have the disks but it's been a while since I've tried to use them.

I guess less than $10 for 50 disks isn't bad though...assuming they work of course. It would be nice if you could find 5.25" disks for that price now...
