Floppies?
Authored by: Hedderik on Oct 17, '02 10:08:46AM

I'm sorry, I should have spellchecked better (but well, not everyone is a native English speaker), and probably also made more clear that I was ironic. I do understand that floppies are not very practical anymore, but this "tip" is so obvious, that I tried to made that clear by ridiculizing. A better example might have been to compare it to suggesting to use a keyboard for input instead of sending electrical signals directly.

I seems to me that the first comment is right on, this "tip" is not about sharing, but about "transfering" files, and suggesting to use the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) to transfer files is a bit, well, euhm...

So, I probably should have refrained from commenting, but I cannot find a way to delete my old comment.

- Hedderik.
