do you still use diskettes?

No longer my dear dear friend. But I cannot response to your point o discussion with long text to ear more; because you have describes all of my answers that I should produce.

Only for one answer, diskettes now become more expensive compare to CDR and CDR-W.

not anymore since diskette can only contain limited files because of its low capacity of memory. i use usb or flash disk instead.

Yes, i still use to copy my word documents and get it printed in the nearest dtp center as i don't have a printer at home and they don't have a usb drive for my pendrive!!

The floppy is something old i don't think that somebody is still using this things.

The DOS problems can be solved with a CD you don't need to use floppy disks.

I still have or use diskettes though i have a usb drive. Sometimes its for emergency purposes that there are some computers that are low end and can't read usb drives specially in offices. Specially for oldies who still are not familiar with other types of storage.

Hi josan181237! Our world is getting so high-tech and to be honest with you, I really can't keep up with all the new technologies nowadays. Life is getting easier and convenient but OMG so complicated. However, it's been a long time since I used diskettes. Anyway I am not so much a techie person, but my hubby have USBs for his use. have a nice day and take care!

I hardly use diskettes every since I possess a thumbdrive. But I will still keep some of them for emergency usage like booting using diskette in DOS.

Yes, I still do. Inspite of the advancement in technology, I have no choice but to use diskettes; because my pc here in the office only accepts diskettes. I'm not yet given an upgraded pc until now. There are reports which we have to submit to our regulatory bodies locally, so we use diskettes everytime.

3.5-inch diskettes are arcade. I have stopped using them for more than 3 years now, although I have some old data stored on diskettes from work done in the past. I guess the data is also obsolete or of little value now. The last two PCs I bought in recent years also didn't come with any floppy drives, so even if I wanted to read my diskettes I didn't have the reader to do so. I wouldn't want to go out to the shops to buy an external floppy diskette drive, because the price is certainly not worth it for the little benefit that I will get out of it. I'd rather save that money and buy a flash drive instead.

i don't use diskettes anymore, although we have gazillion diskettes here at home, collecting dust. about five months ago, i still bring diskettes to computer shops, for printing purposes. but the computer wouldn't read the files, saying, "the diskette is not formatted. format it now?" so i had to resort to something else, (deductions due to late submission of paper is motivation enough) i e-mail all my files to myself, and open it in the computer shop, which proved to take a lot of time. so i took the liberty of buying one of those small flash disks in my favorite color, red. and it served its purpose really well and i can't deny the fact that they are really cute and easy to carry around.
