I expect him to say this, but my main interest is this -— IS HIS PREDICTION ACCURATE ?

I'm not sure about this prediction, but I remember the kerfuffle caused when Jobs didn't include a diskette reader in the original iMac back in 1998. Now I can't think of the last time I used a diskette, and I have a hard time imagining any file small enough to fit on one! &nbp; ;-)

Very true ... and I hadn't used a diskette for about two years prior to that time (when the iMacs first came out). And I got one of those first iMacs, too ... :-)

I used one a few months ago. To recover my photos from Australia in 1999 (camera stored them on floppy).
