[SLL] Old Floppies

This is not Linux specific but I'm not sure where else to go with
this, so I'm calling on the combined wisdom of the list to solve a
bit of a problem. Cleaning up the garage I came across a box full
of floppies, mostly 3.5" but also 10 or so 5.25" (Egghead "Smart"
Sector Diskettes). Whoa! Humorous, right? Yes, but my wife tells me
her master's thesis resides on three of the disks and other
important files are spread across the others (any and all snarky
remarks at this point will probably be taken good naturedly).
So, I'm sure you're with me, but I'll spell out the question
anyway. Where can I find a computer that will read the 5.25" disks
and let me move them onto something useable on our system? I have a
3.5" drive if needed.
Your good humor and insights will be greatly appreciated.
