We're turning our backs on A: & B:

[darkxshade]

I know a long time ago in a galaxy far far away the B:\ was used for the 5.25 floppy drives. The thing is, I don't even use the 3.5s anymore and in time A:\ will also be forgotten. What makes them so special that we can't touch them? I can set my optical drives to any letter cept A-C. They should consider giving A: & B: a comeback tour by letting it handle any drives we wish to set it to because I miss them

 

[KLin]

Stop living in the past.

 

[Leper Messiah]

lol?

 

[quakefiend420]

so do you just pop up every now and again and get emotional about software?

 

[darkxshade]

It's not software... it's loyalty... I'm not going to cheat on them with pansys like E and F

yeah, they still have their uses

 

[SportSC4]

I'm thinking that those will be gone when EFI replaces BIOS

 

[compuwiz1]

someone still uses a floptical drive? :Q

 

[Greyd]

A: and B: live on through their children C:, D:, and E:.

 

[Eeezee]

A and B deserve to be associated with floppies through simple respect; you have to respect your elders

 

[ribbon13]

A&B together. Got black one I've been moving from main rig to main rig since 1997.

 

[Rubycon]

Use B for other removable media like CF/SD/XD/SM/MS.

 

[TitanDiddly]

Whenever I plug in a USB device, it is C:. My SATA main drive is H:.
