So I understand.  I never owned a PC before the first 386 I bought, which
more or less handled the bios as most PC's do these days.  The only
machines I ran into after that time that still used floppies to configure
the bios were all HP servers.  Every PC I have had under my control never
required any floppies to function, bios or otherwise.  I hate floppies
especially for mission critical applications.  I avoid them like the
plague.

Where are they today?  ;-)

Life is good,
