Yep. Unless you’ve got a museum piece, that’s how it has to be. And somewhere down in the basement I’ve got a zip-lok bag with a few old 3.5 inch floppies that at the time I just couldn’t get rid of, and yet I haven’t used them (other than the Logos disks) in decades. But I’ve got the external drive, just in case! Semper paratus!
I have LOTS of museum pieces!
I do not think I’ve EVER thrown one of my old ones out!
