I bought a USB floppy to use with my wife's Powerbook G4. I occasionally use it with my SM when the internal one gets intermitently flakey. It is not a bad idea to get one because it will be compatible with future Macs via USB. I use mine to backup my Quicken file, my only not easily replaced data file. I also have it on two hard disks and used to have it on my idisk at .mac before they started charging. Lots of uses for floppys. My wife teaches school and her classroom has Macs from a new emac through an LC III. The super disk is an OK idea if you can get disks cheap enough. I find the USB Zip alos works for transfering files I move the disks and the drive from Mac to Mac.
