outside of feeding a few into my Amigas, I haven't used a floppy disk in I don't know how long. And, honestly, I'm happier this way. Kill the floppy! (Actually, I think it's already dead...) And I'm all the happier for it. No more slow-ass track-and-sector copies. No more waiting minutes for the stupid thing to format (only to have it die out having the last sector verify wrong). No more worries about the little metal door bending and sticking in the drive (3.5" only). No more worrying about accidentally folding (5.25" and 8" only). No more worrying about disk alignment errors.
GOOD RIDDANCE!
You *DID* hit on a pet peeve of mine, though. I reserve the right to throughly beat anyone who hands me a CD with only 1 400KByte file on it! :lol: e-mail it to me, throw it on a usb stick, ftp it to me, throw it on a network share, toss it on a website for me... I don't care. JUST DON'T WASTE EVERYONES TIME AND RESOURCES BY BURNING IT TO A CD. :lol: If it takes my CD drive longer to spin it up than it does to read the entire contents of the disk, I WILL launch it at your head!!!
