It all depends on what the drive was, and the next will be, used for, which was never stated in the original e-mail.
That there are alternatives to using floppy discs was a useful thing to point out - I'm no fan of them and I don't use them if I can help it (e-mail, FTP and a Zip 100 drive make for alternatives, especially for large files). However, I do have a use for them - I transfer files between my 486 PC and the StarMax via floppy discs sometimes, and my sister has done the same between the StarMax and her PowerBook 160. Another consideration is that if the guy is happy with using discs, $10 for a floppy drive (that I saw offered here) is a lot less than the price of a Zip drive and a Zip disc :) Floppy discs are not dead yet... Hell, I still use 5.25" 200k floppies here sometimes =) I have plenty of 100k ones, too... - Daniel. -- StarMax is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... / Buy books, CDs, videos, and more from Amazon.com \ / <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/lowendmac> \ Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> StarMax list info: <http://lowendmac.com/lists/starmax.html> Send list messages to: <mailto:starmax@;mail.maclaunch.com> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:starmax-off@;mail.maclaunch.com> For digest mode, email: <mailto:starmax-digest@;mail.maclaunch.com> Subscription questions: <mailto:listmom@;lowendmac.com> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/starmax%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Macintosh?
