I always wonder at the price of electronic devices, it drops greatly as new technology is "discovered".

usb 3.0 is that fast?...

no, I'll wait until they launch usb 4.0

I guess I'm not the "odd one out" here. I remember the "floppy" disks too! But just a later generation from yours SS. They were much smaller. And if you leave one in the CPU floppy disk drive, Windows 98 won't run...
