I haven't bought a computer with a floppy drive in five years, and
probably
haven't even used a floppy drive in three. A floppy drive is just a dust
collector these days.

So how do you update a BIOS?

You get a motherboard that doesn't require a floppy to do so. In some
cases, this involves booting from a CD, in other cases, the motherboard has
a BIOS mechanism that works from within Windows (and sometimes even other
operating systems).

What are you doing over there? Is all your computer hardware stuck in the
20th century? All of your comments seem to ignore all of the progress that
hardware manufacturers have made in the last ten years. It's like you've
never seen a PC that could be operated without a floppy drive before. They
exist, and these days are in the majority.
