I am not using any floppy disks nowadays, I remember the last time i use floppy disk was 1999, after that i normally save files on my hard disk and in case i'll be needing some files, i use my email account to transfer and sent the data to another pc.

Nope, not anymore... it's such a hassle to retrieve files from old floppies actually. I even wrote an article about it... Haha... You can read it at the link below. Feel free to comment anytime. =) http://www.computersight.com/Hardware/Old-Floppy-Disks-are-a-Hassle.141529

I used to use floppy disks all the time, but I haven't since I bought my new computer two years ago. It doesn't have a drive for the disks and I started using USB keys and external disks, they work much better. I often found that my floppy disks would corrupt themselves or files I tried to save on them.

I am not using floppy disc anymore, I shift on using USB flashdisk or rewritable cd as it is more efficient. Aside from that, most new computer released doesn't have floppy disc anymore.

no, i hardly use floppy discs these days. infact the floppy drive has gotten defunct in my CPU. i havenot fixed it yet. i am better off with flash drives and pen drives. they are hand, fast with much more storage.

Flash Drive - Now it use it .
Its been long time that i used floppy disk and to not anyone surprise it did not work at other computer i was my assignment and it was final day with one hour remaining:) but when i went to my teacher office there was nothing in the floppy:) then i asked my teacher his email id so that i may send him online from my home so teacher was kind enough to give me this favour and i submitted the assignment but after that i bought a flash drive to use rather than stupid floppy.

I have a Floppy disk in my old desktop, but I dont see any floppy drive in my laptop. With the availability of the large sized Pen drives, I dont think floppy drives will be used hereafter by the people. But I have used the Floppy drive recently, when I got my system crashed and needed a Boot Disk. I had created a Bootdisk of Windows 98 a year back, which I used now for repairing my system.

I use CDs anymore when I want to burn files or have them. My floppy drive may work fine, but I don't trust the floppy itself. It always loses data.
