floppy drives

I have one in my Desktop box, but that machine has had three different gut swaps since I've had the case. These days with BIOSes being as fancy as they are, who really needs a floppy? Hell, most BIOS now can read USB jump drives.

I had a blog. It sucked.

My desktop has a floppy drive but it's disconnected & disabled in BIOS. I never use it. However, a few years ago, I had a college instructor that forced us to turn in our C++ assignments on floppy.

I was expecting this on page 1.

I made a point to get one, but I haven't used it too much. I did pull some files from our Windows 3.1 computer a few times, and when I was messing with my mobo BIOS I had to put the backup on a floppy to revert it (the fancy graphical tool only updated).

5 inch floppies, on the other hand, I have not used since elementary school.

Instead of a floppy drive, I got a multi-card reader instead. However, when I got back to school, I'll need a floppy drive, so I'll borrow my brother-in-law's USB A: Drive.
obviously you've never been able to harness the power of cleavage...

dont have a floppy drive anymore (usb sticks are much cheaper, and easier to use), though I do have an old 5"1/4 disc version of demons winter floating around the house somewhere.
