Take a look at the FD-90 or some of the newer Mavicas, the FD-73 is very low-tech. Unless your exclusively throwing pictures on ebay, get something better. Houdini couldn't get a good print off an FD-73, so its really only a internet camera. Like I said, if you must have the floppy go with the better Mavicas or check out the DC240 Kodak and Nikon 800. Operating these cameras isn't rocket science, I'm sure once you peruse the manual it will all be much clearer.
