floppy disk galore

Nowadays, in this advance technological world, usage of floppy disks (or what the my computer registers as 3.5 floppy) seems unconventional and even regarded as primitive by most of the computer experts. Why does it seems unconventional? Because it can store only a small fraction of file as compared to a portable mass drive, an optical drive or even a memory stick. More so it had a high tendency to become inaccessible when not written properly. (Refer to wikipedia dot org for more info.)

But why am I updating my page with this kind of hullabaloo?

Well, a customer just stormed in the office, trying to figure out what the hell had happened to their diskettes. Imagine they seem to be uprooted on the ground when they realized that the diskette they had sent was not accessible to our dearly-old windows xp computer. What's most intriguing was the fact that they doesn't even have a decent cd writer nor a memory stick to back up the said files, when they can splurge on an Apple Ipod!

This is a simple case of conformity to fad and fashion rather than meeting the basic needs required. More so it also a wrong way to invest your money over time, since Ipod's likability to stay in the market is not enduring or it's not designed to stay for a longer period of time, since, (correct me if I'm wrong) like two or three months a new version of the said gadget booms in the market with a lot better feature than the first and that its value depreciates over time. Well as compared to buying yourself a burner (e.g. cd or dvd) for storage media purposes, then you likely invested your money in a good equipment, since most people had a lot of files stored in a pc or laptop, that you wished to back up if or either the said computer had crashed or you want to share it with the rest of your friends.
