"> I have computers with serial ports AND floppies." "Yes, but have you required both of those in the computers you bought this year?
"I have not been willing to pay the extra $30 for a floppy drive for at least two years." There's an easy way to cut this particular Gordian knot, for most currently available computers: buy a portable floppy drive that connects via USB. The portable drives are inexpensive, and they work well. Sometimes you have to work with old media; this is a cheap, convenient solution. And the USB-connected floppy drives are VERY portable and hot-pluggable, so you don't have to have one for every computer. --Constance Warner ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
