Just a note to anyone planning to buy a new PC. Be sure to check it out in advance to determine if it includes a floppy disk drive! Some of the new computers are leaving the FD drive out and including just a CD-R drive. But some of the more elaborate ones now also include a built-in reader for SD cards and/or other of the newer storage devices (such as digital camera cards, etc.) to replace the FD. I recently purchased a new laptop and didn't realize it had no FD. Fortunately my desktop does have a floppy disk drive so I can still copy the ZIP files sent on the Forum and e-mails from BEBOP and others to a floppy for use in my 7000. But if I have downloaded them to my new laptop, I have to re-send them to myself to collect them later on my desktop for opening them and saving them to a floppy. Guess the FD will one day be obsolete just like videotapes are being repaced by DVDs! I am having trouble keeping up with this new electronic world!!!
