Don't Kill The Floppy!

And paper tape, don't forget paper tape.  

Seriously, those crappy floppies have been replaced by flash drives, they hold a heck of a lot more and are a thousand times more reliable.

My nine year old was reading this and said, what's a "floppy?"  I told him it was like a phonograph record only more so.

Also reminded him when he was two years old he "freed" me from floppies by systematically taking the little metal slider off of every one of my remaining collection...

You can't even fit one photo on a floppy, I don't think zip drives are in production anymore, flash drives are the method of choice for moving files between networked and non-networked computers or to and from work/uni/school.
