It was a Subhect line, not Subject.

That's a good idea, because the 3.5" floppy drive seems to be
disappearing from PCs. It's kind of funny that PC hardware and software
becomes obsolete so soon. An example: In 1995 to 1998, I made some backups
on 230MB magneto-optical disks using a SCSI-based drive. I couldn't get
the cheap 8-bit ISA SCSI adapter to work in Linux 2.4, and some disks
were formatted with xiafs, which was last supported by the 2.0 kernel.
Luckily, a friend of mine had very old Debian GNU/Linux installation CDs
lying around, and we managed to rescue the data. That was two years ago,
only 6-7 years after the disks were originally written.
