    There is some local PC shops, and cheapest local floppy i can find around, is $23.99 (Sony) if it's in stock when I go to local store to buy it, if not I"ll just get whatever else is there, and live with it. If it was any other drive, I would've replaced it immediately--or my Monitor...

    Floppy Drive Question

    Very True, and I will determine which is the best way to go when I'm ready to buy for sure, am not rushing to buy, since this drive is not an emergency replacement like a hard drive would be if that died, or CD-Burner(which is gonna be replaced with DVD Writer when it does die). will research...

    IE Tab Firefox Extension

    I've tried this the time I used Firefox for a short while on here, but then I ended up going back to IE, I couldn't get used to firefox, plus browsing seemed slow to me, even though I have 1gb of ram, and AMD Sempron 2600+ 64bit Processor, yet it still seemed slow. I guess I'm gonna be...
