The death knell has sounded for the floppy disk!PC World are stopping selling them. Later this year none of the machines they sell will have a floppy drive.
That makes me feel old.
It seems only yesterday when the first consignment of RX02 8" floppy disks arrived at the computer parts warehouse where I worked in the eighties. And there was some considerable excitement when the 5.25" RX50 floppies started arriving - customers lapped them up.
But nowadays the CD, memory card and USB stick have made the poor old floppy redundant.
