My mom uses Windows 3.1 and I tried to find use of floppy disk,no internet and too old to figure it out.
Can not see it on desktop or My computer. My sister had been scanning moms printed letter to email it to me and my other sister from the other side of the Atlantic sea.
I want to know if I can make it work so my mom can save the letter to floppy and bring it to my sister that has internet and email.
What do you say?
