Floppy Discs everywhere say their last goodbye’s
I’m sure a lot of you who have had a pc for more than 5 minutes will remember well the floppy disk. God I even remember when it waas the norm for software installation. Having to load in 5 or 6 floppies in a row to install a program. What a painstaking task that could be.
To this day, a small percentage of PC’s sold throughout the world still come with a floppy drive. Unfortunately to the detriment of floppies everywhere, this day could spell the end of them entirely.
PC superstore, PC World will no longer sell the devices, individually or as part of their prebuilt computers.
Way back in 2003, Dell started the demise when they hammered the first nail in the Floppy coffin by banishing them from their higher spec machines.
