Does your computer have a floppy drive?

[timswim78]

Are these things a thing of the past or are they going to be around for a while?

 

[Darein]

I still use mine if for some odd reason I need a boot disk or I need to give something to someone that isn't worth putting on a cd.

 

[fatbaby]

not on my current one

Stupid dell integrates their floppy drives into their cases and i couldn't transfer mine over.

How much would one of these go for at staples nowadays?

 

[Colt45]

Da!

 

[Leetman]

I have one, I only use it when my printer is acting up and I need to take it somewhere to print it.

 

[ROTC1983]

Yes, my computer has one, but I only use it for school now...

 

[Savij]

Main comp: Nope, I have one, but I have to turn off comp, open case, and insert floppy drive when i need it.
Laptop: Yeah, I use this one when i absolutely have to.

 

[Cyco]

Yes.

 

[LordMaul]

No, I have a falsie.

 

[0roo0roo]

i have a sony usb floppy from my laptop. i ripped the power pin connects off my desktops floppy, it was old anyways, oh well

sometimes ok for boot disks, but more and more i use cdrom boot disk.

 

[dionx]

yes, just for the sake of filling up the 3.5" drive bay. my goal is to fill up all the bays on my pc. since i have another 3.5" drive bay, ill put an internal 6in1 card reader there. however, i made my computer legacy free cept the floppy so i may have to use something else in its place.

 

[Stallion]

Sure do, used it last week too.

 

[thawolfman]

No, but I have one on the side incase I ever need to make a boot disk or something...

 

[The Dancing Peacock]

No I don't have one and I don't really need it ever. The last time I needed one for a windows boot disk, I pulled a floppy out of my brothers machine and used it temporarily. Other than that, I haven't needed on for a while. My old one busted and I haven't bothered to replace it in 1.5years+

 

[Nohr]

Yeah I got one but I rarely use it. Mostly just a "why not" thing.

 

[Reliant]

I have one but it doesn't work anymore.
I haven't had to use it in a very long time, so I don't feel the need to replace it.

 

[Supermercado]

Yes, it has one. Rarely gets used, though. Less than once a month, probably.

 

[KokomoGST]

I have it and still barely use... a few times for the odd Word or Powerpoint doc but nothing other than that. Gone are the days when you could fit entire games on a few disks.

I think I still have an old copy of Star Control 1 for PC somewhere!

 

[CubicZirconia]

Yes, I still use it occassionally.

 

[Ryan]

Nope

 

[DanFungus]

have one, use it occasionally, like today, had to run a hard drive scanner for my maxtors, needed to boot off the floppy with the file on the floppy

 

[Vadatajs]

desktop, yes
laptop, no
bsd box, maybe (it does but I don't know if it works, no reason to try)

 

[andrey]

Desktop >> Yes. I use floppies to fix MBR after another Linux installation
Laptop >> No (well, I have removable FD, but I never use it)

 

[boi]

Yup!
