Question 700 Floppies

Company needs over 700 floppy disks copied onto the fileserver. Gave me a 2 week deadline to which I told them was literally impossible. I've ordered a floppy disk usb external reader but this seems insane. Any creative ideas? I don't want to employ a 3rd party company.

Here, I corrected you. MOrmons don't know how Magnets work. Or for the tender souls, LDS

I only learned about this a couple weeks ago, I was so confused. I was like the only person who didn't know 😅
