All of these flop-esque terms suffer from the fundamental inaccuracy of the term "floppy" to describe a piece of coated aluminum. I understand that it's being used to describe the portability and general usage of the media, but it sounds too folksy for me. Besides, verbing your term is too flopticated. -=- J Greely (jgreely@cis.ohio-state.edu; osu-cis!jgreely) >From: dorner@pequod.cso.uiuc.edu (Steve Dorner)
