I stopped in a Goodwill computer store today to check out what they had. The prices were good on some items, OK on others. However, one display that I was drawn to was NOS floppy disks. I found not one but two boxes of 800K floppies at $1.95 each!
I opened one of the boxes, which looked to be old (it said Verbatim was a Kodak company on the front, which I don't think it has been for some time) and found disks with the little blue Verbatim label on them inside (these haven't been sold in nearly 20 years). There was also a coupon book for various items that could be obtained with proofs of purchase. I was going to fill out the one for a disk box (which I'm guessing is the famous black Verbatim box) for one proof of purchase but I saw the expiration date and I think I'm just a little bit too late--the offer expired September 30, 1989.
When I got home I found the Carmen USA I bought a few days ago on eBay had arrived--which means I now have a copy for my Classic II (this is my third copy of Carmen USA overall). A great day for Mac conquests indeed!!!
