Ratings disk - ewe want it baaaad

As many of you know, Strat-O-Matic sells a computer disk that has the cards for all of the players broken down (how many hit chances, homeruns, double plays, etc.). It comes in a spreadsheet format that can be read easily into Excel or something else.
For those of you who haven't bought it in the past, but are really into Strat and want to analyze your players' cards, this disk is invaluable. The disk for the upcoming set (the 2008 baseball season) is not available yet, but Strat is taking pre-orders. I just ordered mine.
Here's the joke. Strat-O-Matic still sells the data only on 3.5-inch floppy disk. If you buy it, you need a plan to access an old computer to retrieve your data. They also sell a ratings book. It's the same stuff, but obviously in a book, not an Excel spreadsheet. So, for me, the book is useless - as I like to sort and search the players in Excel.
The 2008 ratings disk is not available until January, but you can place your order now:
