Death to the 3.5" Floppy?

Posted by michael on Tuesday July 30, 2002 @09:19AM from the ad-te-omnis-caro-veniet dept.

BawbBitchen writes "PC World in NZ is running this story about PC makers struggling to try to kill the floppy as a standard PC part. Gateway has started to take $10 off the price of a PC if you order the PC without the floppy. Hum, well my Mac does not have a floppy and I do not miss it & my Linux Server has one that I have never used. Does anyone out there still use their floppy?"

One may bask at the warm fire of faith or choose to live in the bleak uncertainty of reason-but one cannot have both.

I do apologize for getting off-subject, but this reply is about the Signature of the post to which I am replying. (I think I confused myself with that phrase...) The acceptance of reason and the subsequent logical rejection of faith does not lead neccessarily to a loss of love, sanity, fulfillment, or joy in one's life. Sorry to break the news so abruptly.

Have fun, MadDad32
