MacMan,
First of all, I have previously said that, you need to change your file extension to *.ppg so it will display from your angelfire link.
Second of all, eliminating the floppy only accomplished one thing, it saves apple $15-$20 per unit.
Come on, it takes 10 seconds to transfer a tiny little file to floppy. You can reuse that floppy many times over. It is still cheaper and faster than using your superdrive.
And no, some people can't just e-mail or transfer files on the network.
Get rid of the floppy? ROTFL...

Get rid of the Floppy, not for a while.

We can't just go on using floppies forever. It was a bold move for Apple to stop this floppy nonsense. It's easy just to go get a portable floppy drive and use it until theres a better alternative.
And i must have missed the .ppg thing. What the heck does that do?

*cough* ZIP drive *cough* *cough* 10$ Zip, 100MB *cough* *cough* USB zip Drive $60 *cough* 100 1MB Floppys... HAHAHAHAH ROTFL *cough*
Fuck Floppy drives, they sucked, will suck, allways have sucked. Apple made the right move, get with the program folks there are better alternatives.
I mean seriously? I have 5 Zip disks, everyone has a Zip drive, At least everyone I know. So that's maybe 100 bucks for the disks and the drive, total (give or take $20), that's 500MB's of removable ultraportable storage! Don't even tell me keeping 500 Floppy disk's around makes sense cuz if you think so you can suck my cock.
Not only that, but a fucking CD-R spindel of 100 CD's!!! 700+ MB's each!!!! Is worth a misely 20bucks!!!!!! Do the math, that's a goddam nickle a CD! That's dirt, burn away I say.
FLOPPYS SUCK! sorry, but they do, there is no way I am being swayed on that.
EDIT: Don't forget the fact that you can allways do sector burning. That is, just one bit of the CD at a time (prvided that you have a good burning App, like Toast or Nero on the PC), so in essense you can use one 5 cent CD multiple times to transfer small files icreesing it's longevity beyond the single burn.

Damn you psyjax. That's what I wanted to write. :D
Anyway, I don't use floppies and I don't miss them either. I just use my ZIP drive...
