Except for a config I'm under the opinion that the floppy is dead. In computer technology its a stagnate dinosaur whose time for retirement has long been late, however its reliability and being available on almost every PC has made it live on much longer than it should. If the advancement of the various projects in LEAF means goodbye to the floppy, then so be it. I look forward to all further improvements in all the various LEAF projects. ________________________ Kenneth Hadley PC Network Specialist / Network-PC Systems Administrator McCormick Selph Inc.
