Your Discs Will be Floppy No More

Your Discs Will be Floppy No More is a post from Chris PirilloDo you remember back in 1981 when the floppy disc first made its appearance? At the time, it was a fairly large leap in technology and portability. While many of you young people may snort and scoff at that statement, I assure you it was true of the times more than twenty years ago. As of last year, Sony was still reportedly selling around 8.5 million of these little discs in Japan alone.However, due to the changing times, Sony has announced they will stop making floppies. Sony wrapped up international sales of floppy discs last month. The company already stopped producing the drives last September. Sadly, it’s the end of an era for those of us who remember. It will be interesting to see how many old-school Geeks will have a fit over this turn of events. I do happen to know people who actually still USE their old beloved floppies.Are you still a die-hard floppy disc user? Does your computer even HAVE a place to use them?

Even if you don’t have a floppy disc drive on your computer, you can still take advantage of the software discounts we have available for you.
