Do you still use your floppy drive?

Yes. I don't use it frequently, but it's there just in case.

It seems like the poll's broken. Can you try to edit and reset it?

Yeah, the poll hasn't worked for me for the past 2 days.

I do use floppies a lot, and put one in every system I build for myself or my customers.

 
I got a floppy for my new system, and it's already helped (well, it will tonite) to install my SATA HD. Also, it's just onvenient, especially when you work with people who use floppies. More compatibility is always better, and it doesn't really hurt to have a floppy unless you're trying to conserve drive bays.
 
Yeah, I use it to boot a couple of old favorite DOS games on my XP box that just will NOT play nice. Formatted a drive with FAT32, dropped the Win98 DOS directory on it, and made a boot floppy. It rocks 🙂

Peace,
Pen
