This move will come as no surprise, but one more step toward the actual demise of the floppy disk, the long standing storage device in the computer world for years and years, is at hand with the announcement that PC World computer stores will no longer be selling the item once stocks on hand are gone.



Of course, no one really mourned the passing of the first really big floppy discs, so I would assume that there won't be much of an outcry, it'll just be the sole remaining task at hand for the disks still in my possession to serve as a reminder of my first days learning computing basics back in the early 80's.
