>>> A floppy drive is needed for only 3 things: 1) sending small files to those too cheap, lazy or inexperienced to get an ISP, 2) accessing floppy disks you still have not copied to a superfloppy yet, and, 3) booting to DOS or another pathetically small emergency OS. The "netfloppy" can't help you on any of them. <<< Edwin, Good points. The only time I use a floppy these days is when my children want to print out something on my high-end printer, and that's only because I haven't yet run wires from their computers to mine. I guess that's part of the laziness factor. ;) Regards - Dale
