They say that sometime next year major computer manufacters are not going to include a floppy drive. Since most computers can now boot from a CD and the fact that 1.44 megs of storage isnt jack shit anymore. There oks some times. like taking a report to school to print it, but for other things there useless.

My power point presentation for my senior econ class was over 50 megs. Simply impractical to to fit on a floppy and most schools dont have ZIP 100 drives. So it seems either your storage medium is to small, or vaslty to large.
