Does your computer have a floppy drive?

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