Doesn't having floppy disks stand out these days? I've never used the floppy drive on either of my desktops, and my laptop doesn't have one.
Sir? I'd like you to take the helm, please. I need this man to tear all my clothes off.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well yeah, there is that.
Yesterday I had to install some 13-year old software that came on two floppies. Had to hunt around for a computer with a floppy drive (I ended up using our database server's floppy drive).

Ann, that's a ferret.
I actually have some floppies in my office. That sounds like an actual use for them.

I like my software password vault on my phone. I'm not going to carry floppies around with me to keep my passwords handy, but my phone goes where I go.

ita, which iphone password vault do you use? Between work & home, I can't keep track of all my passwords, and the iPhone seems a better option than a geek stick for the very reason you mention.

I don't have an iPhone--I have a Nokia e61i running Symbian. I use the Epocware Handy Safe.

Ha! I saw "phone" and my brain read "iPhone". Funny that.
