Yahoo! News Story - Floppy Disk Becoming Relic of the Past (fwd)

[charlesb at otcgaming.net]

yes it is dissapearing, my new lappy didnt have one. but I cant complain. I 
didnt buy it :D

but yes 90% of the new laptop machines you can find are sans rs232 in favour 
of an extra couple of usb ports. which dont make sense as the laptop 
struggles to provide the full current needed and they're all limited current 
nowadays compared to a desktop machine and the spec :(
