that's the point actually... I don't have a floppy either, but the custom open dialogs that are built into maya try to find a floppy if your driver is active anyway. Which slowed project management to a crawl for me. I suspect that if you HAVE a floppy drive you'd never see the issue. If you don't have one, you may or may not be affected. Yeah, lol to the stupid hypershade. We can hope, right?
