Geekalicious

I admit it, I'm a geek. Big surprise.
A colleague needed to get a simple web page online, but the darn servers at work had all the FTP software we tried blocked. So, I brought the files home to try them.
Problem #1 - the files were on a 3.5" floppy
Problem #2 - my laptop wasn't recognizing my 3.5" floppy drive
Problem #3 - I can't do a lot of installation of hardware and drivers without admin privileges
Solution - connect my digital camera (that takes floppies) with the USB cable, read the files from the floppy from the camera as a storage device, upload said files, VOILA....a web page online
Necessity is the mother of invention, and I think I am a distant relative.
