used mine just this morning to make a bios flash disk for a pc im fixing and updating ;) will be a while yet before i dont use a floppy drive :P
i use floopies all the time, perfect for spreading trojans around the campus network, no trace, no nothin
maybe my finger prints but....who the hell gives a fuck? lol
There is already a current thread about this very subject.
Apparently, scanning beyond page one is as obsolete as floppy drives themselves.
ok
i used my A: drive about a week ago
[i used a zip disk most days this week, which is still a very big floppy disk]
i86 PCs kinda need floppy drives due to the highly variable hardware combinations that could be made.
and as cds aren't rewritable they can only act as a read only boot device, which is often not ideal.
on the other hand,
macs haven't shipped with floppy drives for half a decade or so now,
new macs all have burners as standard so the cd can completely replace floppies.
why didn't you tell me before i posted :PQuote:

does that mean i should cross post to that thread too?
wanna pot a link from here to there too? :lol:
If you'd like to post in the other thread we could have two identical topics at the top of page one.
Very exciting.
did not use a since i bought my comp 3 yrs ago :o
Wouldnt it be cool if floppies got replaced with a MD drive because i think they are magneteic disks and can be written and erased.Quote:
