Re: blueflops
Floppies? Is that the stuff we used in the 90's? Does it come on CD or is there a good reason for still having floppies?

Re: blueflops
I think it's the light weight aspect, which to me is great for portability. In these days of bloat, bloat, bloat, it's nice to see something honestly nice and lightweight.

Re: blueflops
Definitely time to give it a go then. Now, off to find floppies.

Re: blueflops
Rick I bet it could fly on a USB stick.
I still have a floppy drive, but disabled it a while back.
