I have a USB floppy drive. Can't say as I use it much. I have a couple of floppies with hard drive diagnostics, memtest, that kind of stuff. I keep everything on USB thumbdrives now.
I dont even use the Cd-ROM much, just for MoBo and other hardware drivers that they provide.
[That too for the first time cuz they have been updated]
I have a DVD-Rom drive installed, only ever use it to play games that require the disk be in the drive to play. I install windows 7 from a thumbdrive, all my drivers are on another one, programs on another one etc. I can set my whole system up from a blank hard drive without ever touching optical media. My documents, music, etc is backed up to an external USB hard drive.
i do still use usb drive... althoug rarely....
i still have some old drive that comtains some of my favorate dos games like dave and bio menace...
even though i can virtually max ut any **** game... still love to play the classics..... just for fun..
I just got a new pc.. for the first time without a floppy drive. I can sever the ties with a floppy drive now, but I have a stack of floppies I had to transfer photos off of first :)
I still use floppies (5.25 and 3.5) because I have a collection of vintage computers and a few of them are floppy only, no HDD, no CDROM and no USB support. I also have a USB floppy drive that I use on my "modern" machines which allows me to download software from the web and have a way to copy it to my old machines.
I still have a floppy drive hard wired along with cd, dvd, usb. I keep a floppy drive because it has never failed me when needed.
