Hey, how about this.. My son works for CompUSA part time, and he informed me that
systems this day and time do not need floppy drives, and they are not installed any
any systems. I asked him. what if you need a floppy to do someting. He answered, you
do not need it, that is what dvds' are for. 100 k to 1.2 meg required to save data or
what ever, now use a 8 gig dvd instead. Waste not, want not. It is only some ones
elses' money. 

2. I have been trying to get a new job in C++ programming, I guess there are several
problems with me: I am too old, I do things in a proper manner and I will not put out
junk. I also keep getting turned down with no reason. Over 20 years 12 languages,
many OSs' and databases and I not worth having. All of thehiring managersw are under
35.

go figure cheers
