There is a MAJOR setback in my life... I have lost the use of my floppy drive on a computer that has no CD burner or USB ports... (It's a laptop from 99')

Sounds to me like you now have a reason to upgrade :-) It has gone from a dream to necessity overnight!

2 reasons...

1.NO money
2.Nowhere to buy another laptop... (that dosen't cost a small fortune)

reason 1 would be sufficient to hinder anyone... Why don't you try to do some odd jobs around your neighbor hood or something?

you could get a pcmcia usb adapter, these run for in range of $20-50. you could then use a flash thumbdriver or something of that sort. you can get like a 256mb thumb drive for around $20-30 or so. that's obviously cheaper than getting a whole new laptop. there's always ebay you know... unless you're totally broke.
