"what's a floppy?" ha ha. You are right of course,
however, I figured that Albert, who's been on this list for
a while, could pick his medium of choice. For the record,
all manufacturers still make floppies available either
installed with the computer, or as an outboard USB device.
I just ordered computers for my employer, and a floppy drive
only cost $15, so I had one put in all the machines. I
still find them mighty handy when dealing with legacy files,
or just for a very quick sneaker net file transfer. Can't
tell you how many times someone has sadly said to me, "I
have this file I need, but it's on a floppy, what can I do."
I wave my cape and say, "step right over here my dear
friend."
(tear falling) Remember when you had to use 5.25 inch
floppies just to boot up? Ah those were the days when geeks
were geeks and women couldn't stand them.
lol

What's a floppy?
Just kidding.
most if not all computers made in the last five years do not
come with floppies. so try burning your files to a cd.
Or you may want to attach the file to an email then email
the file to yourself. Be sure and use the laptop when
downloading the email.

: It's easy. From inside IE, on the file menu select
: Import/Export. Then select Export to a File. Then select
: pst personal file as the type. Select your favorites or
: bookmarks folder on the tree list when presented, and tell
: it to save to a floppy.
:
: Then, just take the floppy, put it into your laptop, open
: IE, and select Files, Import/Export. This time you import
: the file.
