I have floppies. I have several FDDs around. I disassembled a bunch of floppy disks of various sizes and made a mobile out of them which is hanging in my living room.

Have one on my very old PC from about 11 years ago... it has Windows 98 and is barely running, but running nonetheless. However, anything, even just opening a word document, takes ages on it. Unfortunately I also have my only printer connected to it due to lack of room. ^_^

yep, I still have my old FDD since my first computer (~6 years old) and whenever I upgraded my pc, I did NOT forget to install it :)

I still remember Monkey Island 2 on the Amiga, hogging around 12 disks. I ended up buying an extra external floppy drive just so I didn't have to keep swapping out disk 1 all the time. I really should have got the A590 harddisk and had done with it.

I still have my first computer, which has floppy drives on it. x) I refuse to get rid of it, because it's part of so many fond memories. And I still have some floppies for it, two of which happen to be my shareware copy of Doom. It was the first time I played it, too. I spent hours and hours on just the shareware levels.

My new computer doesn't have one, though. But I might just mod one into it sometime or another. Or see if I can find a good USB FDD.

usb to fdd would probably be the easiest and least expensive.

I'm sure they're easy to find on Amazon, too. :) Or Ebay!

My old computer had a floppy ribbon connector but of course in this day and age I never needed one. Man Im so glad floppies died off. Pain in the ass to work with.

I have had no need for a 3.5inch disk drive in a long ass time. Hell this Mac Mini doesn't even have an optical drive.

Haven't touched one since I was REALLY young.

We might have one laying around somewhere still, we tend to have old computer parts build up.

Indiana Jones 4 first came to me on a 5.25 floppy as a bonus when buying a walkthrough (a real book!) for Monkey Island 2. Despite that I only used 3.5 floppies.

You can't just simply throw away your childhood! (my Atari and Commodore are still in good shape, but I can't find AC for my Pegasus)

Pozdro!
