[NCLUG] KRUD 7.2 Boot Failure

[Scott G. Brauer]

Think about the ROI for a floppy.  CD's are bootable so you don't need a 
floppy to repair your system (unless your like me without a bootable 
CD).  Can you get the data needed for one task on a floppy?  I can't even 
get the database on one.  To move source, DB, and documents for one project 
is unrealistic.

The only time I've used my floppy on my development box is when I need a 
boot disk for my Linux box.

Hmm, not only do Floppies Just Suck, they are only used when all else fails.

Although when you need one, you really need one.
