It hasn't come soon enough: leading computer maker Dell has announced that it will start making floppy drives option on its higher-end systems, and will likely phase out floppy drives as standard equipment by the end of 2003.
Forward thinking Apple did this years ago, realizing that as soon as we all had email, 1.44 MB storage devices were largely moot. That's before you realize that most files over 1 MB are now much, much larger than that (think mp3s, video, etc.), making floppies useless as a transfer method anyway.
