How do you mac owners get by with no floppy drive(1.44mb)? I asked a question in 9x forum, and everyone thought it was a joke, that is no floppies, how do you mac guys get by?

Very easily. Almost nothing I work on will fit on floppies any more, thanks to the incredible inefficiencies of bloatware like MS Office. Having a broadband connection to the 'net most of the time makes it a *very* simple matter to simply FTP a file off-site for printing elsewhere, and having a home LAN makes it simple to print via the network, so I never need to sneakernet files anywhere. On the rare occasions when I do, I have a CD burner. Of course, this is coming from a guy whose main Mac is four years old, and I had to *buy* my CD burner - almost anyone with a Mac built in the last year and a half got one with the Mac. With CD-Rs being cheaper (and FAR more reliable) than floppies, it works out quite nicely. p

Even before the CDR revolution, a little company called iOmega laid the groundwork for larger proportioned moveable storage. My 6100 has a floppy drive as well as CD, and on a rare occasion I stick a floppy in there for some reason. It's networked to my G4 with cable internet, and the G4 has a CDR, so the old is bridged thru the new. The best use for floppies I have found in the last 3 years is to level off one of my older removable drives that is missing one of the rubber feet.

If physically transferring files is a frequent requirement, you might like to consider investing in a solid state storage device, such as the USB Disgo: http://www.mydisgo.com or WeibeTech's FireWire KeyChain: http://wiebetech.com/products.html#fwkc For transfering large files over the Net, Apple's iDisk facility is hard to beat. The first 20MB is free and further space can be rented if required upto 1GB. An iDisk mounts on a Mac OS desktop like any other disk and enables you to upload and download files by dragging and dropping in the normal way. Each iDisk has a Public folder whose contents can also be published on a HomePage for download by any computer -- a quick and easy way to transfer files. Your iDisk space can also be used to host a website, photographs and movies. Apple provide easy-to-use templates for all these and more. For an illustration, see 'What iDisk can do': http://itools.mac.com/1/iTour/tour_idisk.html Since iDisk supports the WebDAV protocol, it can be mounted in current Linux, Mac, and Windows systems and files transferred using drag and drop, just as if you were copying them to a floppy: http://itools.mac.com/1/idisknewfeatures.html For even faster iDisk access use Goliath: http://www.webdav.org/goliath/ For more about WebDAV: http://www.webdav.org/ For more about iTools: http://itools.mac.com/
