Can I mail 5 1/4" floppies to somebody and get a CD back?

Question

Any other ideas for a non-techie getting data off of 5 1/4" floppies?

Answer 1

Two words - USB Chip!

Find somebody that has an old enough system (this will be VERY difficult these days), and simply load up the old files onto your chip...

Or get them to save it to a 3.5" disk - most computers still have one of these ;););)
