Yes - we all know Floppy's problems, but - Zero (almost) cost per media. Media available everywhere (even service stations, drug stores etc in NZ) Store xxx of them if desired. Compatible readers/writers eeeeverywhere. Mail one to someone and they will know what to do with it (reformat it in their Mac :-) (by no means all PCs yet have compact flash readers) RM -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.
