<p>“a great deal of newer laptops also lack these.”</p>
<p>That’s true. What is also true and important to note is that many kids aren’t going to be getting new laptops or new, more up-to-date computers. I know a lot of kids with older laptops with diskette drives, and kids with older computers that DO have diskette drivers as well. Not everyone has the means to buy a new computer. </p>
<p>“I would never find it useful as I lack a diskette drive.”</p>
<p>As I said, diskettes, for many students other than yourself, ARE useful. If something on the list doesn’t apply to you, just skim over it. No big deal.</p>
