The more I think about it, I come to the conclusion that I won't ever need it. I don't have to transfer anything onto any older computers that don't have CD-ROM's, and my motherboard is modern enough that I can use a CD to boot, even to flash my BIOS. The only thing that could make me need it is if I'm flashing my BIOS and my power goes out during the flash, which then erases my BIOS except for a very basic part that allows me to boot off of a floppy to fix the BIOS flashing.

Don't worry about saying too much, Ryon. No one will say anything to you about the floppy thing you do. There might be others that do that too.

I don't have to worry about my computers, too. all of them have a cdrom drive or a CDR/RW drive. Even if I could not back up my files on one computer I would just bring my zip drive and copy the files and burn a cd on my other computer. I used my floppy a long time ago to back up everything on floppys to cds.

its because no one has 100% embraced another standard IE Zip, SuperDisk bla bla; i read somewhere tho that some company in japan found a way to store like 100 mg onto a normal floppy disk
