"Cow town"? Look, when I lived in Wisconsin, that was applicable.
Here in Iowa, this is PIG country -- get it right, dammit.

One of the reasons that you can't find real BBQ in Iowa also...

I still keep an old laptop with a floppy drive in the closet and it is
configured such that I can quickly add it to the network if there is
something on a floppy that I have to copy to one of my machines... I
also have a couple of 3.5" and 5.25" floppy drives that I can
temporarily add to a machine if necessary... Instead of one of the
memory stick USB drives, I use a CompactFlash card reader and use the
CF card that I retired from my digital camera after I replaced it with
a 2G card... About the only time I use a floppy these days is if I'm
upgrading the BIOS on an older machine and the procedure requires me
to boot from floppy... It don't need to floppy often, but I'm not
willing to completely give them up yet...

I picked up an external USB floppy drive and hook it up to the
machine I want to copy the files to. I think they sell for like $30
now.
