    Honestly you should just donate those to a museum or something xD

    nah, not old enough (yet)

     

    i intend to keep the floppy drive in case my current one fails.. if it ends up working in the first place, ofcourse.

    yeah..nope.. needs drivers xD

    Hahahahaha. I thought my MASSIVE full size and PSU equipped external CD caddy was big and old. :P

     

    [edit]

    PS, never store any important info on that death dealing disk. XD

    i put my passwords on floppy, i have a backup on several locations, but i've found that floppy is the most practical location for the main instance.

    Why not USB stick?

  9. manikyath

    because i can leave the floppy in the drive, but sticking out, so it's ready, but offline.

    That and who else has a floppy drive these days? That alone is almost a security precaution in itself xD

    that's kind of the joke, you can steal my passwords, you'll just also have to steal the device too xD

    Oh it's worse. "Floppy" is easy, there are loads around. Omega Zip drive? Yeah, hens teeth and dragons doo is more common.

     

    Oh, and have backups, because if that disk fails... bye bye passwords. XD
