They really need to replace CD's

Yes its a bad thing. Floppy drives have very long access times; so running off of the floppy/saving to the floppy would take a VERY long time to do things.

Why's it called a floppy ? They're actually rigid peice of plastic

Not sarcasm. Lol, makes no sense to me. It's still a hard square of plastic

Actually, the 3 1/2 disks use to be called hard disks, as the 5 1/4s and 8" were actually floppy... Use to be able to double side them with a hole punch.

Im only 22 and ive used both the 3.5" and 5.25" floppies, i remember using them in elementary and middle school. The 5.25" we used to run programs off of (mathblaster i think??) and the 3.5" to save files, such as word dcouments.

The first pc i ever used was an Apple II in elementary.
