More on floppies. 1. When I E-mail attachments to a well known university in the UK they tend to have a very hard time with it unless I am very careful how I do it. 2. Most of the academic journals requiring electronic copy require you to send them a disk. 3. I get disks all the time from other people. Maybe they are classed as Luddites but they have a resistance to E-mailing the material. This includes abstracts submitted for conferences etc. 4. Many textbooks have floppies with data etc. included with them. If you don't have a drive you can't use them. Just 4 more examples. Expandibility is a complete non-issue for a computer in this price class but a floppy isn't. David
