So I understand.  I never owned a PC before the first 386 I bought, which more 
or less handled the bios as most PC's do these days.  The only machines I ran 
into after that time that still used floppies to configure the bios were all HP 
servers.  Every PC I have had under my control never required any floppies to 
function, bios or otherwise.  I hate floppies especially for mission critical 
applications.  I avoid them like the plague.

Where are they today?  ;-)

Life is good,
