Sorry to inform you, Mr. MJ... A 3.5" disk is most definitely a floppy
disk, as is a 5.25" disk. The word "floppy" is in reference to the actual
recording media, which is a ... *ahem* floppy plastic diskette with an oxide
coating.
Hope this has been a most informative post... I'd hate to see a fellow
Internetter go through life calling 3.5" disks "hard disks" by mistake.
