    Default [PointlessPoll] Floppy drive...

    I think the poll speaks for itself... I'm proud to say that I do have a floppy drive! A black one to match my case, I even bought it and shoved it in there because I love those usually grey, black or blue little 1.44mb disks.

    Well, sort of. It's USB, but it's still there.

    I most definitely have one... I even have a chain of floppy drives.. it is pretty epic... But if one was to ask.. this is the pinnacle of modern floppy drives... this is where it is at...

    To anyone who is in to "puns" or "in you endos"... here are a few...
    Exabytes... they can turn your floppy-drive into a hard-drive....
    Upgrades... they can turn your software into hardware...

    Bah, the SuperDisk was better than the Zip disk. Sure, the disks never got quite as big (120mb, and 240mb versus the 100mb, 250mb, and 750mb of the Zip), but the drives themselves worked with both SuperDisks and regular floppies.

    That said, I have like, 3 100mb Zip disks somewhere in my room.

    Anyway, I don't have a floppy drive on any of my computers anymore. Haven't seen a floppy in years either.

    typical laptops usually don't come with floppy drives. I must say I don't use mine but I do have one. It was needed in order for Windows XP to install the drivers for the SATA ports on my mobo.

    Also, I have a really oldskool Sony digital camera that stores its photos on a floppy that you insert into the side. It took nice pictures for being (1265 times 5 carry the 2.......), ancient!

    In the highly unusual (one?) case that I need one, I put it in my brother's computer and access it over the network.
