Hi all, Richard here. I think the time for floppies is, however, drawing to a close. On many newer computers, there isn't an a drive any more. If you want one, you have to specify. Most stuff is going to zip, thumb and probably cf cards and the even smaller ones like my wife has in her pda, I forget what they are called, but they hold the same amount of data as the larger cards, including the one gig cards I believe. You may not see the floppies for much longer.
