    Say a person has a older pc that runs win 95. The person with this pc has files, images, etc. They would like to backup all there files. All they have is floppy drive. I suggested getting a external cd burner but i dont know if it will work with there pc. If they r stuck backing up to floppy how do I go about that doin it. Do I need a certain program. Ive never worked with win 95 or floppy. Any suggestions please. Thanx.

    if that computer has a usb port.. you can back it all up to a usb flash drive.. saves you the money on the cd burner.. i backed up about 50 floppies onto one 64mb usb flash drive.

    something like this:

    if you're on 95 you may need to download a driver from the mana. website.

    dending on the file sizes.. and that computer is online.. you can upload them to the yahoo briefcase. then download them a different computer.

    just use a yahoo email account.. nothing special

    hope that helps
