I hope it's not too terribly depressing, but I'm afraid I'm going to 
have to shut down the floppertalk mailing list.  It gets almost 300 
spams per day that have to be monitored and rejected, and it is becoming 
an administrative hassle.  So, you all have about a week to say your 
final peace :-) after which I'll be shutting down the list.  (Note that 
the Flopper webpage and possible future development will NOT cease, just 
the mailing list.)

So, if you want to address the group, now's the last week to do it :-) 
I'll start:  Flopper was very fun for me to work on; in the era before 
dosbox and mess, it was the only way to capture screenshots from 
bootable games, and I had great fun writing a disk image dumper and GIF 
conversion program.  It brought Dan and Jeff together, and I think Jeff 
and myself to a degree.  Plus, I got to design a cool logo :-)
