Floppy disk usage
My typcial Sunday routine is to head to the local WaWa convenience store for a coffee and paper to spend a few hours perusing the ads and stories. I couldn't help but notice this AWESOME deal from Office Max: Buy 1 floppy disk organizer at $3.99 and get one free. What a deal...it holds 40 floppies, so for $4 you can organize up to 80 floppy disks! C'mon, are they really still selling these????
OK, so here's the question: how many of us still use floppies in this digital and flash storage "age"? I remember using 5.25" floppies on my C-64 (in fact I still have them!)....when they really WERE floppy! I think I was getting 360kb of storage and I remember using a hole punch to cut a notch in the cover to use the other side of the disc to double my storage!
I tend to store files on a hard drive, my PPC or my Creative MuVo USB drive\mp3 player. If you use some other storage device(s) not listed in the poll, let us know what you use. I woldn't be surprised if someone here as a fibre-channel SAN solution in their basement!
