...such a form of writeable media, installations can become difficult. However, in the college dormitory environment, where high-speed networks are more efficient than floppy disks, the latter is becoming obsolete. In creating a cheap computer, Apple decided to forgo the drive and to offer it as an external option--leaving the ultimate choice up to the consumer. Imation and Iomega both offer 100+ MB disk drives (the former also offering compatibility with current floppy disks) for less than...
