IIRC floppies run at 150Kbs! Hard drives now days run at a MINIMUM of 33 mb/s, most 66 to over 100 mbs. Divide 33,000,000 by 150,000 and you get 220 times faster for the 33mb/s hard drive faster than a floppy!! Plus the other peoples comments still apply..too small, and undependable. Now days, 33mb/s hard drives are 'slow'!!

Just pass the written and "U's a ham"!! Many sites test online, but you have to go for the real test. $14 for as high as you can climb in one session. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
