No, you’re still having to figure out how to support Windows XP on modern hardware.
In 2012 I drove up to the Fry’s Electronics (RIP) in San Marcos to buy a USB floppy drive for some work nonsense, commemorated above, and stopped off at the Best Buy across the street to buy the last, dusty box of (neon!) 3.5" floppy disks, and kept both around as nostalgic artifacts long after their purpose was served, so this morning, looking at that stack of floppies that fell out of 1997 or whenever, I’m like, wait, I have a Mac (since we were a Mac household back before it was cool) and a USB floppy drive (and the appropriate dongles, naturally; and didn’t I see it in that drawer a couple months ago?), I might be able to see what’s on those!
The drive wasn’t in the drawer. Or the 5 around it. Or the other 2 it might have been in. Or the cabinet, or one of the storage boxes in the closet. Nowhere.
Then I realized the last place I saw it was in the box of stuff I dropped off at Goodwill (since Goodwill does electronics recycling for the stuff they can’t resell), from last year’s big clean out of all the drawers and cabinets and storage boxes.
So.
That’s how, why, in this, the year of our lord two thousand twenty two, a full decade after the last time I made this ridiculous purchase, I bought another USB floppy drive.
