I thought my mom was nuts when she bought her first and only computer
w/o a floppy drive years 4 or 5 ago. Why? She'd read that floppies
were on the way out. This was before flash drives were cheap and
common, but she had no use for floppies either so it was as good an
excuse as any for her. LOL! RIP, Mom.
