Hi Steve,

>>Have not touched a floppy for over 18 months.<< You're lucky.

>>The floppy is too small and requires too much effort for what is on my computer. << Me too.

>>The only backward compatability issue was being able to get everything off the floppy disks so they NEVER had to be used again.<<

I'm finding that folks who depend on their computer aren't willing to kiss off the 1.44 yet. Their comfort level is much higher if that's still available to them. Their attitude may or may not be proper, but... Look at how long the 5.25inch drives stayed around.

Regards - Emory
