In the news this week is the story that Sony is stopping manufacturing Floppydisks in March 2011. I must confess I still feel a little uncomfortable if I am on a PC that doesn’t have a flopydisk drive. I still think they are still a useful device for restoring and installing base drivers.

I agree they are unreliable and, to be honest, a pretty crappy way of storing data, but I used one only a couple of months ago to install some SATA drivers onto a Windows XP machine. Doing the same with a usb drive would have beenĀ impossibleĀ at the time and the CD was in use to install Windows XP on.

I think they do still have a place as the ultimate last-resort. I will mourn them when they are gone.
