Oh gosh spot the apple fanboi. Bro, Jobs is dead, you can stop following the reality distortion field now.
And then this piece of blatant revisionism:
Apple: Drops Floppy drives Others: Laugh at Apple for dropping Floppy drives Others: Drop Floppy drives
It was: 1. Everyone knows floppies are reaching the end of their life, but there are no great alternatives. 2. Apple drops floppy 3. Everyone owning a mac has to buy a USB external floppy drive to exchange files with the rest of the world. Or maybe a zip drive, exc
Well I did not get onto the mac bandwagon untill the erly 2000s so pkease forgive tis possibly silly question Was there in 1998 a great deal of dara exchange berween mac an pc users wher floppies was the only way to achieve it? Or did mack and pc users for a large part exsist in there own separate silos?
I wasn't on the bandwagon, myself, but I had friends and the odd family member with a mac. If you only ever wrote your own documents and took your own photos etc, then it was fine. if you needed to exchange anything with anyone else then floppies were the only way to go. I remember, for example, students all had floppy drives for that reason.
