Floppies are just too slow. When I want to play a game, I usually copy it to the HD then play it ( I dont have enough HD space to store the games on it permenantly) after I finish, I delete the game from the HD. That is far from 'Lazy' , matter of fact, I go to a lot of extra trouble so I don't have to 'stick a floppy in the drive to play the game'. -- John Sparks |"Help Fight Continental Drift!"| (502)957-4200 2400 BPS D.I.S.K.
