Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I do know that if you are questioning my judgement then you are probably also a witch.

I don't think anyone here is regular, i.e. we're all here because we're not all there.

Well, I'm pretty sure I don't weigh the same as a duck.

I roll on 32 spoke wheels. Let that be your guide.

I still have a bunch of 3.5s in my office (with media intact). I think I got rid of the last of the 5 1/4s though.

I have one box of 5.25" with cool programs like DOS, WordStar and Lotus 1-2-3 on 'em, one stack of 3.5" with various data files on 'em and an unopened box of Mac formatted 3.5". Maybe those will become a collectors' item someday
