USB is so much more simple and so much more pure.

Did you know that there's a video format that uses similar technology as floppy disks? It's called SelectaVision.

You better stock up now: a lot of stores aren't going to carry them any longer. My boss is freakin out wondering where he's gonna find floppies for all his digital cameras.

I still have some 5 1/4" floppy diskettes that contain programs I wrote in a high school computer class 20+ years ago (using an Apple IIe). Some in basic, some in pascal. I doubt the data is even any good now, I just keep them for sentimental value.

I remember when Kings Quest came on 12 floppy disks, that was annoying.

The only reason for a floppy drive nowadays is raid drivers


most new comps don't even have one :shrug:

Yeah if I didn't have my floppy drive there is no way in hell I would have been able to install the Fast Trak RAID Drivers for my array.
