Yeah that'll do the trick its either that or floppies :rolleyes: :rotfl:0 -
god my laptop doesn't even have a floppy, can't remember the last time i used one
. looked both and i think that the flash drive would be better for me in the long run as i've just started a course so i can carry everything around on that and just plug in anywhere. but thanks to both of you. :beer: Work like you don't need money,Love like you've never been hurt,And dance like no one's watchingSave the cheerleader, save the world!0
