...then your missing out on a wonderful conversion from a floppy to a hard drive, complete with FAT....

on a less childish note

Does she ACTUALLY need a floppy drive or would a blanking plate suffice?

i say buy her a usb pen. you can get cheap 64 mb ones.

and they are more reliable than floopies

A blanking plate is

a blank plate

fits in the hole to make it more "nice"

But if she needs it fro school then id imagine it wont help you

He cant just go use a USB stick for her.
Some classes/teachers/courses require you to hand shit up on paper with a floppy aswell

Must admit, a USB drive would be better for her. All the computers at school have the ports, it's just a question of ensuring that she doesnt leave it in the back of the computer after class, hah. Although... floppy disks may be better on a more disposable level (ie give the disk to the teacher... no need to get it back). The options aye.

Actualy, you're useless. I had a floppy drive... coulda dropped it off when I dropped off the CDROM drives. I may have to go for a walk in the morning...
