Answer 1

Uhmmm...Why are you still using floppy disks? Try buying a flash drive. You may say its expensive, but in reality you will be able to save more if you use flash drives.

If we are going to take about the price of each byte in a floppy and a flash drive, it is easy to see that the flash drive costs less. It is more reliable, has a greater storage space, faster access time, and its product lifespan is greater than that of your floppy. And with your problem with viruses, you may use a mobile version of any antivirus you wish. (Avast, Nod32 are among those that I know has mobile versions).
