| 119343 | 2003-02-09 04:44:00 | My iBook has no floppy, and I don't miss it at all. However, if I had the cheaper model with no CD writer, then it would probably be a pain. | Alasta (1420) | ||
| 119344 | 2003-02-09 07:05:00 | You cant beat a floppy for quickly backing up an important file. I have a cd writer thingy but it is a pain in the arse setting it up to copy data etc. I have still not got over the trauma of not being able to have a true floppy (5 1/4in) in my computer they were cool. tedheath |

| 119345 | 2003-02-09 08:35:00 | I noticed when I was in stationary warehouse Petone last weekend they had a computer combo deal ,scanner ,printer & desk for about $1300 & it had no floppy. I thought it was another way to keep price down. Cheers Steve |

| 119346 | 2003-02-09 09:03:00 | ..Personally I use CD's, fast enough with burn times, so much easier.. USB drive would be my next option though :-) | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 119347 | 2003-02-09 11:51:00 | OK it probably does keep the prce down but they are only about $30 so as against the perception of a floppy is it a lot of money. | mikebartnz (21) | ||
