I apologize for my part in that. Sometimes I get too centered on the 
situation in which I'm most familiar, and in the States, current-gen 
machines (and Macintoshes from Apple) no longer rely on floppies a lot 
and it's easy to forget that others don't always have ready access to 
similar technology.

I'll try to be more sensitive to that in the future.
