OK, why?

[winterbadger]

is the floppy drive on my PC coming on every now and then? It's not done this before, and I have *never* in the years I have had this computer actually *used* this drive.

But now every ten minutes or so it runs and the drive light comes on, even though there's no disc in it.

This suggests to me that something is...wrong.

not many pcs have floppy drives these days, which kind of hints that yours is an older pc.

Yes, it's probably 3-4 years old.

Thanks!

Last night was a serious bummer. I don't think we played well at all.
