Floppy quest

“Do you have any spare floppies I could borrow?” Tod asked me 30 minutes ago.
“Uh. No. My computers don’t even have floppy drives. Maybe there’s an old one in the drawer?” I suggested.
“Already looked.”
“Ah. Well, probably the conbini then.”
So we walked over to the local 7-11. It’s really amazing what you’ll find there. Towards the end of the first aisle, between the ball point pens and the cell phone chargers, is the blank media section. MiniDiscs in single, 3- or 5- packs. CD-R and CD-RW. Video tapes of all sorts–VHS (three brands), Hi-8 and miniDV.
And, yes, floppy disks. A three pack of Maxell for 270 yen. Whew.
