Also note diskettes were very expensive!!
- ghaff 5y agoWhen I was in business school in the 1980s, I had a small side business selling students the floppy diskettes they needed for the PCs in the new computer lab. (Very few owned their own computers although I did.) I don't remember the exact numbers, but I think the campus store sold them for about $10 each. I bought off-brand in bulk and sold them for at least a 50% discount (with free replacement guarantee) while still making something like a 3x markup.
