Memory stick v floppy drive?
If your pc with xp goes into safe mode, is the CDROM drive accessible?
In the same case, is a USB connection to a memory stick accessible?
The answers would seem to answer the question about whether getting a
floppy with a new computer is a sensible investment (I presume that,
in safe mode, a floppy *is* accessible).
