I'm not sure how critical is this thing[a floppy or zip]. I agree, that a floppy is a seldom used device. But I still think it is critical. How many other desktop computers ship without floppy? None that I know of. Why is this so? What about transferring files between home and work/school. Do you think most consumers have the savy to save them to the net? A file that takes 10 seconds to save/load by floppy will take 10 minutes to get from the net. Jon Bird
