They tried that already. Remember back in 1993 or 1994, they had a bunch
of stores called Computer City, I think? You could go in and get one free
floppy disk per month. And not just any floppy disk, either, but the HD
3.5" diskes. Yowzah! It was like the battery of the month club. I still
have some - both batteries of the month and the floppies. I got my
floppies from their store on Jantzen Beach in Portland OR. 

Nothing ever gets thrown away around here.

RS made a big mistake when it got rid of its Sangean-made SWRs.
