And for my part, on a re-read, my reply did look a bit confrontational.
Sorry about that.  The general idiocy of using $20 cheapo floppy drives on
the PC/AT-style platforms, this deep into the '90's, makes me curse IBM in
my sleep.  But, floppies are becoming more and more irrelevant, so I'm
calming down as the years go on....

Sorry to have stirred up a small storm on my first day posting to the list.
I'll drop back to lurker mode, and hang my head in shame...  (*grin)
