Who still uses floopy disks?

[azrag]

I am pretty old school when it comes to technologies. I own a DVD player but i also still use my VCR. I use CD-Rs for really big amounts of data. But after all I still uses floopy disks =D. What I have to say is great about them is they hold 1.44 MB and you can delete whatever is on them. They are best for documents and images, but my friends dont use floopy disks in fact practically everyone i know just use blank cds and rewriteable blank cds. DOES ANYONE KNOW THEIR ROOTS! Then again I am a freaky nerd I am sure there are people out there who still use them! I also use my broken floopys as ninja stars lol. What do you use floopys for?

[citricsquid]

Never used floppy's, they are crappy.

Yer same here.

I still have alot of old data backed up on disk.

[MarioBegins]

Either get a USB thumb drive or buy a card reader and use Secure Digital cards, both hold way more than floppys. Plus both are near impossible to break. CD-R's are terrible for efficiently backing up data, tell your friends to use CD-RWs.

LOL
I thought it said floppy dicks.

My dad uses them from time to time.

iam pretty much old school too! i stell play my super nitendo!

[Lost-Chances]

I was saddened when my new hard drive didn't come with a floppy dick drive :(.

[RoobyKillAll]

YES. Man, I'm always using floppy disks, mainly for my writing. I keep a lot of floppies around, and most of them are loaded with things I've written and/or writing. Bad for images though.

[BananaBreadMuffin]

I use them to create bootable discs, apart from that, i dont touch em.

[HotActionYiffFur]

I use them all the time, with my 1997 Mac computer.

I like to play "The Oregon Trail".

At least you got a Hard dick drive, better than a hung drive anyday. JK
P.S. is floppy disc is spelled 'disc' and to the original poster, it's floppy, not floopy.

[Aksumka]

Floppys are dead.

[jedithor]

you need to get with the age then

[Falffy]

ahhh super nintendo, the old school comes back to peeps who get boared of being blinded by overly complicated subject.....oh yeh and floppy disks, i use them all the time, and the corners make them great for lobbing at people

[BellClock]

I used to use them, but now I just use my mp3player to switch files, much quicker, easier and with much more capacity. I dont like floppy disks. I've always thought they were annoying, I guess also because it works kinda slow. I think it's outdated, we need something new OR more capacity for these things.
It is fun to put various files on one then forget about it for years and dig it up again, like I discovered a couple months ago =)

Btw, topic starter, I love your sig.

Who doesnt?

[Ozcar]

My PC has a B driver XD

[Krosxero]

Nah their just sad and lame now its all about flash cards

[yurgenburgen]

I don't, unless I am using my old computer which is rare. I use a 1 gig USB stick nowadays.

[simple-but-sandy]

memory sticks > floppy disks

[OVlez]

I use them for school... although they suck ass because they never make it there and back home. They tend to get fucked up by anything.

Can't keep them in my schoolbag and I can't keep them in my pockets.

[CreampieSuprise]

My teachers still want them for assignments, but most of the time I just use a removable flash drive.

[CreatureII]

I do, i have alot of old programs on it.

"There's a hole here, but I think it's only for 3 1/2 inch floppy dicks."

[EveningShift]

I only have a floppy drive and the disks for repairing PC's.

Floppy drives are still the only natively detected and recognised media format.

USB is not native to AT/ATX technology. Hard drives (IDE and/or SATA) are not 100% recognised.

I don't use floppies all the time, but they come in handy.

[Janus]

I have two boot disks on floppys.

Apart from that, they're great fun to use as frisbees.
