Actually, a lot of sony mavicas use floppies. nobody else, AFAIK. and I think you can hook those mavicas up to your pc via a cable and transfer pics that way. besides, floppies suck for digital cameras. I got a 2.1 megapixel jobber from samsung and I almost cried when I saw that it came with an 8 meg compact flash card. I have since bought 2 64 meg cards, and the 8 meg one is collecting dust somewhere.
The last three systems I've owned have been sans-floppy, And I've never needed one. I built all 3, and I made the choice to exclude the floppy drive in all 3. cdr media is way cheap, cdr drives are reasonably priced, and pretty much every motherboard built in the last few years has a bios that can handle bootable cd's. So what I'm asking is - who out there has built their own system and left out the floppy? btw - yay dell, way to move forward!

I imagine it smells wonderful. But then I always imagine how poop smells. Actually that might not be a bad idea - it might end up looking like an adobe hut. And you could tell people what it was made out after they had spent 3 hours in front of it playing The Sims.
Why is this newsworthy? I mean, I've personally seen over a hundred wood cases on sites like www.virtualhideout.net, and I don't see those submitted - besides which, this case is boring. anybody with a saw and some oak can make one. Why not post something interesting, like cases made from suitcases or filing cabinets?
Hell, why not post the setup at http://egyptian.net/~scarab/system.html ?
at least that took more than basic carpentry skills.
Beyond Slashdot, who cares? Signal 11 could be a god in here and nobody cares anywhere else. and yet, everybody is getting all emotional about this. He got tired of what was pissing him off and quit. whether he *really* quit or not doesn't matter. and on another note: what good is having 17,000 karma points anywhere but here? Karma is only good for moderating, bragging and bitching about the cap.
