   If you used good sisk and stored them right there's a good chance they'll    
   still work.  I bought my Atari 600XL amd a XF551 drive a couple months ago    
   and found some of my old floppies and all the good brand name ones worked    
   like I wrote them last week.   The off brand stuff had issues..  Use to be a    
   store called "Steals" and they sold floppies under the store name, and those    
   didn't fair as well.  Steals was like what Staples is today, they sold    
   OK name brand stuff, as well as low end stuff under the store name.
