<<Friends, Apple continues to bring us into the future. Is it practical to try to copy files which can often exceed 1.4 megabytes using an outdated floppy disk? Apple has solved this by equipping all of it's modern Macs with a CD-RW drive. The floppy drive is just as much a legacy device as 300 bps modem. >>
The problem, as I see it, is not so much in moving files from our Macs to another machine, but in moving files from another machine to our Macs. At work, I have only a floppy drive (on a rather old PC). I have no burner to transfer files to a CD to carry home with me. (I did purchase a zip drive on ebay to make this a bit easier--this PC also is not USB!) I use both my USB floppy drive and my Zip drive at home to transfer these files. Emailing them does not always work, especially with larger files. Mar -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
