Do you still use floppies?

Hi
Friends,
I am not using floppy drive this days because I use rewriteable CD/DVD‘s this days and I think it is more reliable then floppy’s, it's gone damage in high moisture weather and it can carry virus witch I suffered some months ago from that day I stop use floppy’s, but I think we should keep floppy drives in our computers who knows it will needed any day and it is also useful then..

I saw this thread, looked at my main PC, and noticed it had a floppy drive. And I thought, geez, how old?

They don't even use floppies in Mexico anymore.

Same in the UK - hence why I thought my PC was so old!

I took the floppy drive out of my computer. It's only ever useful if you need to use a recovery disk. If I ever do need to use one (and I haven't for over 8 years), I'll reinstall it then. For normal transfer of files, I find USB memory to be much more useful.

Floppy Disks are retired now, you can use CD's and DVD's even USB thumb drives to boot from!

It's easier to email it or store it on the net.
