Yes, I probably could boot from my CD-ROM drive if I had a boot CD.
And yes, I could store a lot more on it than on an enormous heap of
floppies if I had a way of putting my stuff onto a CD.
But floppies are so convenient for most stuff.
And the CD-ROM drive on this comp sometimes refuses to read disks put
into it -- it probably needs replacing.
OTOH neither the 3-1/2 or 5-1/4 floppy drives have ever missed a beat.
Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
