This morning, my colleague brought her laptop to me and asked me to help install Microsoft Excel. Okay, as promised previously, I helped her. When I unzipped the laptop bag, I go wow!? or WTF? an emotion which almost like like this –>> 
A FLOPPY DIRVE?! It’s an Acer TravelMate model laptop and definitely a very old one. I couldn’t remember the model, I think it’s 5**T series. With Windows XP as its operation system, it really took some time for it to login the Windows’ desktop. At the back of the laptop, I observed a Windows ME sticker, so my assumption is, it was running on Windows ME and now installed with Windows XP.
Very small and sempit (narrow) screen. It was too lag and when I got to the desktop, all I saw was only a desktop wallpaper without any desktop icons, the Start menu is not showing up either (no matter how hard you try to press the start key on your keyboard) Because the laptop was password protected, and I didn’t want to walk around to call my colleague (this is her personal stuff, not for the company sack), so I didn’t restart the laptop and continued installing MS Excel using the “New Task” browse and run method from the Task Manager. But later when I restarted the laptop (password was given to me this time), the desktop was back to normal..and I just shut down the laptop, forget to check how much RAM it has.
I wonder how can she keep her laptop in such a good condition. It still look very new, except for the Windows and Celeron stickers on the laptop. Haha, this is my first time seeing a laptop or a notebook with a floppy drive. As nowadays, floppy disk is no longer popular (but under some circumstances, it’s still useful). Everyone aims for USB drive or the so-called pen drive. Who cares about floppy disk? You can hardly find a laptop with floppy drive in the market nowadays.
