I think we are beyond the beginning. The end of floppies began several years
ago when notebook manufacturers no longer built them in. Netbooks the same.
Another technology has bitten the dust! It appears if I will have to
transfer the data on 100s of floppies unto usb thumb drives. Hopefully they
will be around for some time to come.<fingers crossed>

Sounds strange but I stopped using floppies at some time in the late 90s. My PC had a
floppy disk
drive until approx. 5 years ago. And my notebook usually runs even without CDROM/DVD drive
(I have
one but I prefer having a battery instead of the drive). And the times when I miss the
floppy are
VERY rare....!
I have many Atari ST floppies - I'd like to have a machine that helps me to
automatically
photograph, image and shred them... Ok, not the original disks, but all the
"stuff".
And I have RX02 floppies - of course :-)

Philipp
