Poll: Do you have a floppy installed in your computer (main rig)

[Lager]

 

[Ness]

It's leaving later tonight

 

[DannyBoy]

Nope, and i dont want one

 

[FrustratedUser]

Yes, it can come in handy and it's cheap.

 

[rudeguy]

I have a usb floppy I hook up when needed

 

[bigrash]

yup

 

[mpitts]

No. I don't have one on my 2500+ or dualie G4.

 

[Kalvin00]

Yes...but this comp is 3 years old.

 

[aircooled]

Yes. I still like having a floppy for flashing BIOS's and firmware.
I know that many manufactures have windows flashes now, but I still like booting into PCDOS for flashing.

 

You would be a fool to not have one while in school. I mainly use a usb storage device but you would be surprised at how handy a floppy can be in a jam.

 

[woodie1]

Sure do. It's been in this case for years. Great for flashing BIOS and moving small files.

Until I know how to install WinXP on SATA without it, yeah.

 

[Eli]

Nope.

 

[Sid59]

[Cyberian]

I still have an external 5.25" on an old 386 that I keep some work files on.

I just log into my free space at Brinkster.com from school to download and/or save files. I don't have a floppy drive on my main system, but I do have floppy drives on my other two rigs.

 

[cricky]

Yeah, its in there but I don't think its hooked up anymore. I haven't used it in years. And I don't want to go find a floppy in the closet just to test if it still works.

[loup garou]

At work, yes...a necessity.

So walk to the computer store and get one.

I put one in my new system and I had to use it to load my SATA drivers for XP. It comes in handy and is super cheap.
