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.
Heck the last two PC's I bought not only didn't have floppy drives, but
completely lacked floppy controllers, so I couldn't add one if I even
wanted to.
They also lacked on board Serial and Parallel. Everything was expected to
be done via USB.
