English Amiga Board - View Single Post - Sky News: 3.5" floppies to be withdrawn from shelves

Just saw a headline on Sky News saying that PC World is to withdraw the sale of 3.5" floppy disks from shelves.

Apparently there has been a serious decline in sales of disks and "most PCs nowadays dont even come with 3.5" drives installed".

Will other retailers now follow suit?

Is it time to start buying up as many of these disks as possible for our real Amigas?

Is this the end? My only friend, the end?
