I've yet to have a floppy die on me. In fact, the floppy drive I use now is the one I got from my Dad's old 486 we had in grade school :)

Teac 5 1/4 inch drives are built like little tanks. Many of them last virtually forever, at least in PC years. ;)

I'd rather have a 1.44MB floppy for a hard drive in my system than be given a free iMac anyday.
