It was interesting that when Apple removed the floppy drive, then other manufacturers slowly did the same. However we had a crucial program that the software company had only recently converted from DOS to Windows. They'd only done that because a competitor had made a far better prog that ran in Windows and was gaining ground fast. They had done this in such a rush that the backup procedure was still to the A: drive, and you couldn't back up to a network drive, optical drive or anything else. We'd just replaced a load of machines with ones with no floppy drive and as a result we had to retrofit a few with floppies. There were other people who were told they would not be getting a shiny new computer and ould be stuck with their aging piece of junk to allow back ups.

Wonder if the same sort of thing would happen here.
