Unless of course, you actually have to do anything with a floppy drive
in WIN95. Then, you can kiss everything you're doing good-bye until
you're done with the floppy. I have never understood why it totally
pukes when accessing the floppy drive; you loose the ability to do
practically anything else.

Another thing I hate is file names, what's the point of having
fat32, if you can't use the long name in DOS, and have to instead
use ~1 on everything? Shrug. I guess this is off topic ;)
