Ok, since were all throwing in our 2�, Id figured Id express mine. Floppies are like RAM, you can modify their contents all you want. CDs, on the other hand, require that they be burned (unless the technology is built into the OS now) by a seperate application. Floppies are also relatively small and are very light weight. Zips come close, but are bulkier. My thoughts are that there never really was a decent replacement for the floppy, except for Zip, which is not nearly as standard as a floppy. Im sure Apple thought about this for a long time using some sort of complex formula which finally gave them the right thing to do within 10% or something.
