I should go thru my floppy's too and see if there is anything on there and burn them to a cd. Lots of time though!! I think we talked about this in here a little while ago when I asked about the Medion computer originally. I was surprised they were doing away with floppy's! I still use them to swap information for the band newsletter that I write - and other school things for band. Our band director has an APPLE - so I'm surprised so many things are compatable as they are! and when I send him things, I've no clue what he sees when he looks at it. We pretty much try to stick to WORD, so we know we can all see it. Wait til there isn't even a space to add your own floppy!!!

Welllllllll that goes to show you just where the tech industry has come..NOW they CHARGE you to ADD a floppy?? LOL.. and I spent half of yesterday getting everything I wanted FROM floppy TO CD....half the stuff was on floppys that were probably 5 years old and it didnt want to read. Twas a hassle.
