About time, Apple got rid of them 5 years ago! Who needs floppys today? Is there a floppy mafia which makes money on using these suckers?
Siplus:
my laptop doesn't have a floppy drive, and it's the first computer i own w/o one. i guess i don't really need it, but it's always nice to have for things like bootup disks...

I use them for testing my operating system, but maybe I'm an exception.

Meh. I still like it because it's erasable and quick for data transfer. But I have been going without one for a while now. So I say let the 1.44meg floppy go and bring back the LS-120s!
Pissed_Macman:
Hope this thread doesn't start another floppy war. I'm glad Dell's getting rid of them.
