PC World finally pulls plug on floppy disks
It's official: floppy disks are yesterday's technology. If you haven't left your house since 1997, PC World's announcement today (below) might come as a shock:
PC World, Europe's leading chain of computing superstores announces today that it will no longer stock floppy disks once existing stock has been sold in all its stores, including the 12 PC World stores in Ireland, located in Dublin, Galway, Limerick, Waterford, Dundalk, Sligo, Naas, Navan and Cork.
The floppy disk, capable of storing 1.44 megabytes of data, is now no longer adequate for most day to day computing requirements.
Unfortunately people still need the damned things to load some drivers onto windows
*sigh*
