Pocket sized and a gazillion times bigger than a floppy. Just about the same price too.
People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.

Yeah, theres not really a practical everyday use for them anymore. If you ever need one, just hook up an old one until your done with it. No biggie.
I havent used one in 5 years, and my current PC doesnt have one. Neither will my next rig. I do have an old one sitting in a drawer just in case.
I don't put floppys in because i have not used them for years
I use them for 2 reasons.
1. To install my disks of DOS 6.22
2. To install Windows 3.1
Oh wait it isnt 1992 any more. (Still have the disks though...would rather use DOS and WIN 3.1 than Vista any day)
yeah floppies are outdated and useless (says the guy with a 250meg tape drive)
