Ooops! Sorry, I see now you were not referring to your HD which I thought might be a typo; I have only ever heard the term "floppy drive". I agree completely with Michael (and Apple), forget the floppy. Zip� is the way to go for small portable transport of files and short term storage. My experience is they don't make good long term storage, CDs are good for that. MM also makes the good point of if you need to move that small amount of data that would fit on a floppy, just send them. George
