ahhhh, sneaker-net!
reminds me of days gone by, scurrying into the uni labs to FTP down my first linux distro.  then scurrying back home to find out 'b3' was nackered, because that old 720k disk with a HD hole drilled in it didnt quite work that well.

but, to be honest i think floppies days are numbered, yes blank CDR's are cheap, but lets not forget the all might power of LS-120!
