Lost Drives and Props

Where have the A & B drives gone? Its not fair that as we advance in technology, and old technology is left behind, it is very difficult to clean up. The old 5" and 3 1/4" floppy drives are gone, PCs don't even come with them anymore, yet the OS still refers to those drives as A & B. Can't get them back. Anything after C is given letter assignment automatically. Sure there are like 24 letters left to use, but it just stinks when you are working in an enterprise environment. Space can get tight when applications and departments are fighting over the use of the letter M because they like it. Anyway, the OS would need to be altered anyway to make it work. Who knows maybe they'll actually do this clean up work on the next version of Windows.

Also, big huge mega props to the firemen in my hood. There were at least 2 rooftop fires that I watched. Those poor guys in heavy coats and equipment trying to get up ladders quickly and make sure that a little grill fire doesn't get even worse on a sweltering hot day. Plus I always like men in uniform. So thanks, you guys rock Prospect Heights.
