Re: Downsides Of OS X On Beige G3

[Ryan Coleman]

As a designer, publisher and DBA I will say this: I have 6 computers at 
home without floppies. I actually make it a point to remove them from 
the PCs and the legacy Macs. Why? because I have a network here with 
one computer that DOES have a floppy: My firewall/testing server. I pop 
the floppy in, it loads up and with AFP I can load up the data on it. 
Or if it is a windows disk I can load it up the same way. Universal 
support from an 'unsupported' OS.

As for when I get them, I charge my clients more. Why? Well, if you 
cannot adjust to the times and spend $50 on a CDRW and $2 on a RW disc 
I shouldn't have to deal with a comparably unstable form of media. If 
you cannot step out of the ice age and into the bronze age you should 
pay! It takes me longer to do something because of the access speeds of 
disks, the poor quality of them and all the other issues that come from 
floppies.

A word from the Publishing and Graphics side about floppies.
I still get floppies from clients. Floppies are alive and well.
