Bye Bye, Floppy Disk


Ummm...  Who here still uses floppy disks?  I haven't even seen one in a looong, long time.

Though to be fair, my cousin had posted something about needing to buy floppy disks a few weeks ago.  It made me laugh so much I had to ask why.  It turned out that he needed to submit data to the bank for something or other.  The bank needed the data to be in a floppy disk.  Seriously.  I thought that was a hoot.  I mean, haven't they upgraded their machines yet?  The bank must still be using computers from the 90's or early 2000's.  Tsk tsk...  They really should get constant upgrades.  You know, keep up with the times and all that.  Thank goodness I don't bank there.

But I digress.  This post is all about saying good bye to the darned things, so ciao, floppies!  You had a good run but your storage cap is just too darned small these days.  Cheers!  You will not be missed.
