>From my experiences, I'd consider them categorically questionable. Floppy disks are such a hassle. When I was tutoring, students would always be having problems with them. I tried for a while to run scandisk on them, but eventually I'd just tell them it wasn't worth it. By then, we had every student either using personal USB storage or emailing their files to themselves at the end of the day. -todd -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
