Wow...  I've still got a LOT of disks, mostly 1.44M, but some 1.2M and a couple
of disk boxes of 360K floppies from when I had an XT.  The 1.44M disks are kind
of dying, but the 5 1/4 inch disks, mostly holding up well, despite being 30+
years old.

Would be good if you could still buy new disks and drives, just for the thrill
of it.
