I also remember the huge hype when Apple removed floppy drives from the manufacturing process.... there were people almost predicting the end of the world.
Thing is, I still use Quicken 2000 for my accounts, as Intuit dropped it so there aren't new versions all the time any more.
And this version nags you to back up to floppy every now and then.
Which seems like a good idea, so for an extra fiver I had a floppy put into my current box - I don't however use it for anything except Quicken!
