Gee, neither of the last two new computers that I
purchased had
floppy drives (and one of those is about 5 years old now). I'd say
this is old news (and the PC world finally catching up with the rest
of us). I can't even remember the last time I used a floppy drive.
I still use them all the time. It's still the quickest and easiest way to
transfer files (that can fit on them of course).
I use CD-R for backups and transferring very large files.
