When I installed XP SP2 on my SATA drive, the floppy disk stopped working _DURING_ the installation. I had to find another good disk out of 50 just so I could install the damn thing.
I'll just let the rest of Slashdot rant about how much floppy drives suck, and how the disks only hold data reliably for maybe 20 minutes if you're lucky and how damn slow they are and how floppy drives are just a waste of a drive slot.

I can only hope. And wish. And pray to God.
AMD still has the 1337ness card to play.
How much money did they spend on THIS brilliant study? [/sarcasm]

I'm not here for the peace and quiet. I'n only here because i happened to be born here. And I live in a decent-sized city, I want a fast connection.
Great. A giant city gets an even faster internet connection. Until I can get it in Kansas, I don't really give a shit.
Somebody should just invoke that Sherman Anti-Trust Act. They should be using that thing more now than ever.
Sony is allowing porn on it.
Really? I have an 10-gig IBM that still works as good as it did when i got it 7 years ago. As for floppies, it's pretty accurate.
