While it is 'old' technology, there remain many who cannot afford flash w/ide adaptors, etc. Since I have inheritted several older systems, it costs me little to nothing to set one up for someone. And while one or two have CD Rom drives, all have floppy drives.
If they had to buy a flash or DOC, then they might as well buy a Linksys. With the LEAF floppy systems, I have found that half the folks get more interested in networking and Linux, which I regard as a plus. -sp $0.02 _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
