   While most of them have no drives installed, the only machines I see without   
   even a controller for floppies are laptops.  Of course, I have stockpiled   
   old floppy controllers and am in the process of stockpiling PC's with ISA   
   slots now.  Because of limited use I expect what I have will last until   
   there is no longer a need for them.
