wv, my dad was a member of a Silicon Valley 'pirate group' back when 1.44 MB 3.5" floppies were the preferred storage medium. They'd get together to dupe and swap monthly. Seemed like most of them just did it to fulfill a hoarding addiction. Just imagine a floor-to-ceiling bookcase, four feet wide, stuffed to the gills with those 3.5" floppies. That was the extent of my dad's collection. I think he paid as much for those floppies as he would have for any legit software he actually used himself!
