.... For taking files back and forth from work it makes things easy
Trust me on this one Jack, I am not saying you should do this, but this is the way it will be done.
Instead of copying the file to a floppy, You send yourself an email a work. In the upper left hand corner of you email you will see "do you want to attach file? you say yes, clic on the file and then clic on send. When you get to work, you pick of your mail and clic on "detach" and put the file where ever you want. now you have three copies, one on your home machine, one on the office machine and one on the server. This is almost the Only way to do it if the file is bigger that 1.4 megs.
Say what am I talking about, you don't work!!
.....and for saving stuff not needed or wanted on the hard dr a floppy is nice,,,
You could leave the file on the server. But the smallest hard disk you can get today is 4.3 Gigabits (most popular size) thats a lot of floppies.
Back up is done (if you want to) by a sort of what I call scrap house RAID (redundant array of inexpensive disks). keep your old computer, duplicate the files you want to protect on both machine by email nic OR cdw. (no tape, cdw is 640 megs)
......but how many business do you know using Apple??
Businesses don't use appl. No software, been the same for 10 years. Unless your business is the heartsey flowersee type.
This is the future.
