I would suggest changing to pen drives. They are potentially much larger
than floppies in capacity and most machines have extra places to insert
them.

OT - If anyone is intrigued by the Windows 7 with Touch Screen and Web
Cam capabilities here is a tip. You need 5 usb ports for the various
gadgets, and my Dell came with 4 on the back of the machine. Inserting a
usb  hub caused the machine to crash.
