Yeah the first thing I did after a fresh windows install was to create boot disk, and have 2-3 copies just in case because floppy disks were notoriously unreliable.
Oh wow yes, you made me remember I didn't much like that. Money was tight as a teenager and it always hurt a little to "spend" floppy disks on multiple copies.
A little bit earlier, but I remember dumpster diving behind a big company in the early 80's and finding a couple boxes of probably about 200 blank floppies. Couldn't believe my score! I pretty quickly found out about half of them were bad, which was probably why they were in the dumpster. But still there were plenty of discs for Apple II games copied from all my friends.
