[Fyron]

No Fyron, it is a pain to anybody like me who may find themselves in similiar circumstances. But of course, you would never think of asking what those circumstances are. So, you are wrong when you say it is "Only to you." And yes, of course it is impossible to miss...after fumbling about. But if I had a choice 1) wasting time by fumbling about for it and 2) not wasting time at all, I prefer not wasting time.

This whole rant is completely meaningless. You can not accuse me of ignoring something that you did not bring up. Accusing me of "never think of asking what those circumstances are" is akin to accusing me of never thinking of asking what the price of tea was in Beijing in 1602. As in, it is something of a complete tangential nature to the current discussion that would only ever enter into it if you mentioned it specifically. You never once mentioned anything about special circumstances until this post in which you accuse me of being insensitive, which I have not been in any manner.

Yes, I have heard of DOS. But maybe you haven't heard that DOS is on the way out. So tell me, what percentage of PC Users do you think are consistently (as opposed to "occasionally") using a DOS floppy to boot their newer computer?

You entirely missed my point. Windows evolved from DOS, and up until NT/2000/XP (which are all technically lines of the same OS ), DOS was a heavy part of Windows. This is why floppy disks function as they do in Windows. Also, I specifically alluded to DOS being on the way out in my post, which you seem to have missed.
