I have a friend who refuses to listen to reason. He partially runs an Antique store (one in a chain). He also runs his own Ebay store. He has EVERY invoice, every cataloged item and every small image associated with his ebay items saved on floppy disks. He has about 2,000 if not more that are used (more than that blank- copy center was going to throw them away).

He refuses to use an external hard drive, to purchase a second hard drive- or a cd burner because he believes it's more complicated than managing 2k+ 3.5" floppies.

I wouldn't buy a floppy because I havent used one for anything in a couple years (as well as I can remember) but I still install them in my systems because I still have plenty I can rip out of dead systems.

Built this computer... actually...

I was going to say I never used the floppy on this computer since I built it but my girlfriend has a couple times. So I guess it was worth putting in... (not that she used it for anything important). Eh.
