Assuming it's small enough to fit on said floppy disk, it's very easy indeed.
If it isn't, I have a CD writer...

it's in parts so it could go on lots of floppys.
it's that big thing it took me weeks to read over the summer. its lots of egyprtian stuff so i thought she might appreciate it and it would give her something to read. i know the files are supposed to be minimum in size on this particular site, one reason why its so popular.

Oh, excellent, and I have Mum's from me...
Floppy disks cost not very much, although you do generally have to buy a box of ten. Still, that shouldn't cost very much these days - they're a lot simpler to make than most other types of media, and they've been around for ages so there's been plenty of opportunity for people to make the manufacturing process cheaper. Plus that they don't hold very much data compared with, say, a Zip disk or a CD-ROM... so people don't _want_ to pay lots for them.

Oh, I don't know... I've not bought any floppy disks for ages. A few pounds. I can't imagine it being more than 50p per disk in a box of ten, probably less than that.

So I hear from Dad. What a shame you don't like baths. Personally, I'm rather fond of them. I've missed having a bath here...

Well, you'll find out on the thirtieth of Awful, won't you? Hmm, that's a Wimpy... at least it's not on a Sodit!
And it's only four days after Rupert's birthday party! Which is two days after my last exam, so I shall be celebrating muchly at that seminal event.
