  The bad thing about using a floppy disk is not only the small capacity but also the frequent fungus problem on the film...

  Not always the storage problem... Sometimes it's inherited from production... Also hated the formatting process before use, even if it's stated that they are formatted...

  Ohh...i have posted a thread in IT and Support....the floppies may be making a comeback soon...
  
  some company is now able to store information on the floppy media up to 42 GB liao....
