The OCModShop crew ponders the imminent demise of the old standby. What with USB devices getting so integrated into the boot scheme, & the further addition of flash card readers, I'm surprised the floppy hasn't disappeared yet. There's something to be said for having one, though, even if it is "just in case."

"We live in an age where processors have reached an atomic minimum, a sound card has more processing power than Apollo 11, and where video cards become garage sale fodder within six months. CDs could once only be created by large studios with deep pockets, but is now a very common consumer item, and almost obsoleted by DVD. Why is it that one component is older than all these other technologies, but has survived through these new innovations?"
