Re: Don't Kill The Floppy!

My PC has a floppy drive but I haven't used it in years now (the PC is about 5 years old). It has probably collected so much dust that it wouldn't work anyway. I can't even test it since I don't have a single floppy anymore.

But it wasn't CD that replaced it. For me it's the Internet mainly and later USB sticks or flash cards. I use the CDs only for moving large amounts of data between computers and for archiving. If I burn something on them, I either put it in the closet or copy it back to the HDD somewhere as soon as possible. Scratching them and destroying the data is just way too easy. I hate them for that.

But all in all, I'm glad the floppies are gone.
