Don't Kill The Floppy!

[Jiffy]

I totally agree with TS. I _love_ floppies, especially on my C64/128 systems and on my Amiga 1200/2000/3000. Even on my peecees, I still use them on a regular basis. I have all my computers networked, but still find swapping out smaller files through disk by far the easiest way. I fully agree with some of the posters that floppies are slow and not extremely reliable, but they are so deadeasy to use, I will use them for years to come. And with several thousand of both 3.5" and 5.25" disks, I most likely will not run out of spares...

And, ofcourse, nothing beats the nostalgia value of sliding in a disk in either your C64's or Amiga's diskdrive.  :-D

Not _all_ my computers have floppydrives, but most of them still have. Some of them are used very frequently (C64/1541, SX64), some of them hardly ever. Sometimes I will not touch any disk in weeks, followed by using dozens of them in a weekend.

They are slow, not very reliable and can only hold small amounts of data. But they are dirtcheap, always work and are extremely easy to use. And I _love_ the nostalgiafactor.
