| 450540 | 2006-04-29 07:22:00 | Nice rig :thumbs: What is wrong with a floppy? I have one in this, sure I didn't buy it but I had one lying around spare :) They maybe obsilete BUT they come in handy Because you can just use a USB pen drive. You can just use emulators if you are real desparate and bootable CDs. As an example, macs haven't had them for years (and I haven't had requests for an external USB floppy drive for a very long time). I use bootable DVDs these days...... Why not put in a 5.25 inch floppy just in case ? ;) |

And I somehow don't think MAC owners flash their BIOSes... |
