Actually, going to no floppy was the best move anyone has made in the
computer industry in recent years. This archaic, buggy, data-destroying
disk ought to be completely obsolete. It already is for many people. The
only times I ever use them are for the executives, who seem to be unaware
of "progress". I haven't used a floppy disk since last fall. I use Zip
drives for small data transfer if email or the network is not a good
choice.
