I have lots of stuff on floppies...I even use
them with my Digital Camera (Sony).
I would be lost with out a floppy drive.
In an emergency I'd be lost without boot disks
Bootable CDs are such a pain to construct, and the Recovery Console requires
an administrator password (and so if you've lost your admin password, you're
stuck)
I've now found an Emergency Boot CD which is quite interesting, but requires
the option to boot from CD to be enabled, which is a pain when you're
troubleshooting machines that don't, and guess what, they've forgotten the
admin password for the BIOS!
I'm glad my budget notebook (budget at about US$1000 - can you get brand
names for less than that in the States? That was the cheapest brand name
anywhere over here) came with a USB floppy (useful for other machines too)
