That was last fall. I had needed the floppy to do some file transfers, 
since the CD didn't have CD burning capability, and the USB port was 
busy with my mouse when I used it.

I'm actually looking for a beat-up 500 MHz or better laptop for my wife 
now for email/file access at her school, but all the used ones seem to 
be more powerful and at least £200.
