LOL. We had shoe boxes full of floppy discs in order to use this thing. We'd literally used 10 to 20 discs per day. I ended up writing a custom application that allowed me to simply insert one disc at a time as it watched for the disc to be inserted into the floppy drive and immediately stated copying the files to the hard drive. It then wiped the floppy clean, so I could re-use it again.
Fun times. But, as soon as flash cards came out, I switched because you could store about 20 images on them instead of just 4.
