Cindy already answered!
iMacs (I don't own one, incidentally) don't come with a floppy drive,
but that doesn'y mean you can't add one! As Cindy mentioned, ZIP drives
are much more useful nowadays, anyway (I seldome use the floppy drive on
my Power Mac anymore). Actually, I usually transfer files between home
and the lab by attaching them to an e-mail message to myself!

And, fortunately, I don't have an Aunt Martha, so I don't have to save
them! (I currently archive my writings, etc., on my hard drive).

I, also, don't want this to turn into a "computer thread," but it seems
that there is a lot of negative misinformation being spread about Macs!
