my network was down.
out of CD's
needed to desperately get my work out my G4.

suddenly my sis appears with a toshiba satellite, I look inside her bag, a toshiba external USB floppy drive.
I hadn't used floppies since 1999 or so, but WTF I needed to get my work out.

So I plug the damn thing into the USB port, the Mac starts thinking ... then it stops.
So I put a floppy in, and to my surprise, it mounted !
There I was using a totally obsolete technology, with a PC floppy drive, on an interface designed by Intel, on a system based on UNIX ... and I was happy !
no drivers, no updates, just good-'ol-Mac-style PnP

It saved my day anyway.

thx apple for that.

Couldn't agree with you more. I've had similar situations, and always came away happy and impressed.

Yeah. Me, too. No drivers. No setup. Plug it in, and it works.

This, on a UNIX-based system. ("The power of UNIX, the simplicity of Macintosh" was a good motto).
