I have about 50 or so 1.44mb floppys, with this technology I get 1.6gb out of them instead of 72mb. The wonders of technology, 32mb floppy.

None. I have a couple hundred Borg floppies.

Anything cool is USB

[bigbootydaddy]

[gittyup]

Wow. A 30mb floppy.

 

[Yzzim]

D@mn, just when the floppy was about to be extinct

 

[Modeps]

I have about a hundred... and they are all just sitting in a box, because i hate floppies and never use them anymore.

Until the read time is drastically improved, I don't care if they can store 1Gig on floppies, I still won't use 'em. Not when CDR's are so cheap, and Direct CD is relatively painless. (Even without DirectCD, burners keep getting faster and faster--screw floppies!)

I don't have any use for it. I either burn my files to a CDRW, or store it the HD. It's not useful for me anyway. I can't share those disks with my friends, or use it in school (cause you need their drive to use the 32MB Disk).

100

I couldn't even begin to count. Personally I have several hundred including many 720K disks from the past. In the office, I wouldn't be surpirsed if the number exceeds 1000. What a waste of plastic.

I have about 120 floppies lying around somewhere.

100's, I collected the aol floppies cause I knew they would be rare and worth millions some day....buwhahahahahahahahahahaha kidding of course

I hate floppies, failure rate was too high, and data transfer time is pathetic.

I have a large box of 5.25" floppies which is about 900 individual floppies. I've been saving them since my Tandy computer.

I also have about 600 3.5" floppies. Seventy five of them are from AOL, Compuserve, Prodegy or some other computer company.

Both of these boxes are in the basement labeled - Old fashion disks - Could be antique in 20 more years. Save.

Great. I just threw out a whole bunch. Like cleaning out your attic, I guess. Keep something for years and throw it out a day before you need it.

 

[Shalmanese]

All my floppies die of bad sectors.. sniff

I have a special grave for all my dead floppies

 

[Whitedog]

I have hundreds... You need them or something?

 

[kami]

Heheh, I know of a place where you can buy them new for 5 cents apiece

 

[Taz4158]

Aproximately 6,732. Approximately.

I keep floppies for two reasons.

1) Boot disk.
2) My sampler uses them.
