AWESOME! I never noticed that! Now I can make those ESR disks for Windows
Server ;) Dell's so clever sometimes.

Lee,
We have one that you could of course use.
As an FYI to everybody who might not know: The floppy drive module for the
Dell Latitude D-series laptops can be used as an externally connected USB
floppy drive. This is what I actually use on systems that need floppy
access temporarily. There is a mini-usb port on the left side near the
back. Figured I'd mention it, due to how many people on campus use Dell.
