Hmmmmm George, I'm not so sure if you should be so quick to agree with Michael when your knowledge is so fragile on this subject. For some of us a floppy reader is a life line. And excuse me, but no matter what has been said by anyone (Apple included), a floppy reader IS important especially for those of us who remain in the shadows or one or two steps behind. George, are you under the impression that StarMax computers are on the cutting edge? The floppy drive has long ago been ignored as "the" transportable device." Any idiot knows that. But, and this is kind of a big "but" George, some programs and files are still transported by way of a floppy drive. I don't believe that you misunderstood the question was how to get around using a floppy. I don't even think that a question was posed on WHAT device was best to use over a floppy. I believe the question was how this user could obtain another floppy drive. Geewiz readers, am I wrong? Did the poster ask about zip drives or CD drives or SCSI drives or MICs or ANYTHING OTHER THAN FLOPPY DRIVES? George, you are a total asshole. I am more than concerned about your response and "this Michael's contribution" to this forum and will make it my business to look at his and your responses. This forum was never created to spread needless gossip and as a serious contributor, I will do everything to stop the likes you. So be warmed ... from this time out you had better back up everything you say with facts because if you don't, I'll be on you like the hounds from hell.
