As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

But I NEVER forgot how to live with short filenames!
Well, i started with 8.3 filenames. And as soon as that was lifted
(VFAT on Windows 95), i've moved to that. Time goes on. Old stuff
dies. That's good.
Until Windows 95 came out, Unix and Mac OS had long files for far
longer. It was considered a major issue with DOS/Windows 3.x, and
Microsoft decided to fix it.
We're constantly moving forward, and shouldn't be willing to accept
such arbitrary limitations anymore. In the End, Tech should serve the
user - not the other way around.

not only no reason to still support a second physical floppy drive, but
a reason to REMOVE support for it!)
Most new motherboards don't have floppy drive ports anymore. And
that's a good thing.
