Month, and I *hate* it. Stupid obsolete things in use by stupid obsolete people!

My 11 year old electric piano records on to floppies. They're a hell of a lot easier than messing around with the midi-usb cable and drivers that keeps vanishing. Does this make me stupid and obsolete?

I mostly deal with BANKS who fedex me floppy disks and expect me to do something with them. I have a USB floppy drive but EWW EWW EWW can't you manage SFTP? It's LIKE a floppy, but 900x faster, cheaper, and NOT INTERCEPTIBLE BY ANY IDIOT WHO CAN NOTICE A FLOPPY IN THE MAIL!

And then there's a very old usb network adapter that I own that I used to temporarily extend a network cable until amazon delivered the new 15m one. It's so old that the drivers were on a floppy. I had to transfer them to a usb drive so my friend could install them. Am I stupid for keeping that piece of hardware even though it's drivers were on a floppy?
