Thanks for all your comments. I guess I am old fashioned enough to still be using my floppies for copying ZIP files and then transferring them to my 7000. The files I want to retain, however,I then transfer to the SD card in the keyboard for future reference. I just wanted my Forum friends to be aware (as I was NOT!) that floppy disk drives were being removed from some of the new computers, so you wouldn't have to buy an external FD after you bought a new computer and discovered, after the purchase, the omission of the FD. It seems that, no matter what device one buys these days, it is obsolete even before you get it home!! I am already wondering when Technics will be coming out with a 7500 or 8000???
