Sad to see our old friend the Floppy Disc,about to bite the dust,as far as PC World are concerned.Since the so-called early days,I have a floppy disc drive in my PC,even though I now use Windows XP,and Linux.The storage of 1.44mb is simply not good enough in today's hi-tec storage of massive external drives.I myself have a 320 gigabyte one.So long old friend.RIP.

I have a wall papered over in AOL floppies and CDs ;)
With thumb drives coming way down in price, floppies just don't make sense.
I still have some 5 1/4" disks and even some 8" disks from my first computer.
What's a floppy disk? :)
A floppy what??
Real floopys died years ago when they stopped doing 5.25 disc. The current ones are really stiffies ;)
Back to the cupboard with you honestly man...Quote:

When asked why she kept inserting floppies the user said, that's what she was instructed to do. It didn't say anything about removing the others, just to Insert next disk!
Yeah, me too. One where a customer calls tech support and describes her cd/rom drive as "the cupholder"... lolQuote:

Periodically spray diskettes with insecticide to prevent system bugs from spreading. :D
Floppy, stiffy? What the heck? I like my Zip drive!! :eek:
Just kidding. Don't take me serious Ben. But I do got to get rid of my floppy and zip.
Should I zip my floppy with my stiffy?
Or should I stiff my zip in a floppy?
