<p>It is far more common these days to see a computer without a floppy drive than it is without a USB port. In fact, I have considered turning my floppy drive to face inside of the case and then putting the plastic insert back in place…sure I would have to open the case to use it but thats so rare that it wouldnt matter.</p>
<p>The only thing is you might need a floppy to flash bios if your motherboard doesnt have a windows flash utility (scary) or you dont want to go through the nasty hassle of making a boot cd with the bios flash.</p>
