I only have one machine that uses floppy left, the rest are all cdrom
of some sort. It is just that cd's are more reliable I suppose. *sigh*

still have a floppy drive that I use with my Sony Mavica. Didn't

that floppies were as dead as the 5 1/4" disks of yesteryear (the

floppy floppies).
I also forgot to mention that there is an ISO for *nix folks on the
d/l page
but they're calling it a diskette image.

You have a floppy drive?
Five years ago, Apple said that the floppy was dead technology and
that
people would be burning CDs instead, even for small files, because
the CDs
were cheaper than the floppies already.
People laughed at Apple. Most new PCs today no longer feature floppy
drives unless you add it as an extra feature--a feature which is
steadily
becoming more expensive and harder to find quality media in quantity.
Amusing. =)
