Their interests in obsolescent media have to be very marginal, if for no other reason than the time limit placed by the statute of limitations. I recall that I ran across a laptop PC review a few years ago describing the inclusion of a floppy drive "quaint". The writing was on the wall. For those still using floppies, the need is for something other than a floppy. This is a very problematic issue for those with expensive iron (machine tools, weaving machines, lab equipment). They're not particularly interested in fooling with the little buggers, just finding some way to live with them. For those of you archiving antique floppies, your need is very different--you need to preserve the contents of existing diskettes before they turn to goo or dust--or wear out. But for a security firm, floppies are nice to be able to process, but they're not going to see a lot of them nowadays. I hope this explains my statement better. Cheers, Chuck
