It has been a few years since I used a Floppy Disk. When I got my new system I opted for the card reader rather than the floppy drive. I know that I did the right thing since I use my digital camera alot and I do not need a usb adapter for it just pop out the card and pop it into my system. But I do still have alot of files on 3 1/2 floppies and some day I will convert them to cd but to do that I will have to use someone elses system as I do not even have a floppy drive. Thank you for the discussion and have a great day!! WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO!!!! This is number 500!!!!

Wow, floppy disks. I haven't thought about those in forever! I guess the last time I used them was my first CAD (computer aided drafting) class in design school. That was probably 5 years ago. But by the end of the semester, I was using zip disks, and then the next year CD's. It's crazy how quickly things become obsolete!!

Do you really think it is a good idea to keep documents on floppy disks?

I use them all the time because, for what ever reason, my CD ROM refuses to write to CR-RW's. It treats them as a one shot deal and won't write over what's on them. I've only had two or three floppys go bad on me and that was after they were used and abused for months.

I have a floppy disk on my computer but a didn't use it like you about 1 year ago. Now I have a USB Memory Card of 256MB so the floppy disk is useless.

i havent used my floppy since last june. i prefer to use either cd or memory cards. i can save a lot of files in either of the two, unlike with floppy which have very limited space.

It has been a LONG time! Ten + years ago I used to copy cute clipart images onto a floppy to save and use later in my early days of website publishing. I just saw one of those old disks a few weeks ago floating around in a junk drawer and looked at what was on it!

I used floppy disk a year ago. I don't have a floppy drive on my computer anymore. I just use my pen flash if I want to get something from a computer and copy to other. Floppy disks are history. A floppy disk is more expensive than a DVD so who will buy floppy disks in the early future.
