i have a 5.25 and a 3.5 floppy in my box. tell me that ain't ancient history. legacy, i think they call it...
i think one of matts laptops that he bought from prevost was like 70mhz...i sold him mine that was like 150mhz er something mmx chip. My daughters new emachines computer doesnt have any floppies...a bunch of usb's, cdrw/dvd player, flash chip slots.
