i used to use Verbatim 5.25 in the hot pink sleeves, and for the REALLY
important stuff, like castle wolfenstein, i used BASF 5.25 which sold
for $3.25 each.   how i remember that, i don't know.  i remember me and
my friends counting our allowance quarters to buy packs of 10 because
they gave you like a 2 buck discount for a pack of 10.

any apple owners remember the significance of memory address C600?  NMI
cards?  80 column cards?  applecat ][ which let you download stuff at a
blistering 1200 "baud"?  but only upstream.  downstream was still at
300.

i am now on a quest for removable labels.  i'll post my findings.  they
HAVE to exist...
