Okay, the floppy disk was once awesome cuz you can save information whenever you want in ONE DISK. But then the floppy became old and then the CD disk came along. You can only save your data ONCE AND THAT IS IT.

But now, there is that new thing. You can save all your info at different times whenever you wanted, just like the floppy disk. It's that thing you just stick onto the computer. Whatsit called??????? :D

The thing that you stick into the USB port. That is a thumb drive.

Thumb Drive, Flash Drive, USB flash drive, it's all the same thing. But hey, CD's can be written on more than once. It's called CD±RW

i must admit that floppy disks are really great things, because you can simply drag and drop files and they immediately go on, not like waiting 3 minutes to put a 500kb file onto a cd. but like trademark said, you can use a CD-RW for if you want to re-use a cd

I have bad luck with floppys. Too many times there was an essay due third period and I'm going to the library to finish it in the morning to realize the disk is curropted and needs to be formatted :mad:
