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.

Freezing time is easy. Getting stuff done in that frozen time is the challenge.

Wait, So if you can't figure out how to get stuff done during the frozen time, because you can't do anything because time is frozen, then how do you do the thing to get time unfrozen, does the space-time continuum just freeze for everybody forever 🤔... 🤯

Instructions unclear, froze my floppy in time.

Especially not knowing if what happens during the frozen time will stick for the future or not
