I'm going to the macheads side here: floppy drivers and useless garbage. Why, the last time I used a floppy was. . . Sheesh, I don't even remember. . . It was a smart move when the Apple removed the floppy drive. People should stop being so dependent on them. The only flaw with the iMac that I could see was the fact that it didn't have anything that replaced the floppy drive (i.e a zip drive, super drive. . .)

Floppies and serial NEED TO DIE NOW!
It's the fault of the mobo manufacturers too...if they stopped putting the connectors there, PC makers wouldn't be able to put floppies in the machines.

Uh, you better redo your math. Still cheap, but not a nickel. Using your math (100CDs/$20) if you got 200 CDs for $20 (200CDs/$20), the price would go up to 10 cents each. That should have been $20/100CDs which comes out to .2 dollars per CD, or 20 cents each. Still, less than a quarter.

removing floppies from new machines to wean users off them is pathetic. it's my computer and i'll have a floppy drive on it if i damn well please, and no backseat driving company will tell me otherwise.
and that thing about getting an external floppy till something better comes along, what a crock of shit, if there's nothing better, then why not just have floppies in the machines in the first place, and you purists could just... NOT USE THEM!!! (gasp!)
many files will fit on a floppy. floppies cost about 40p each, compared with
