No man, you misunderstood. That's one great machine! It don't need no floppy. Floppies are obsolete. USB is great, universal. Zips are here to stay, Orbs are next. Doren I use floppies on a daily basis to take files from my computer at my office to my computer at home (I'm an academic economist - most of the files are word processing, spreadsheets, and small econometrics programs). Now maybe I should ftp them up to our Unix server and then use Fetch to get them down at the other end - but for the moment a floppy is pretty convenient. Only rarely are my files too big to compress onto a floppy. Then Zip would be nice (As I've got an external hard drive buying Zip has never looked compelling). David
