Floppy Disk for save means nothing to kids. Update?

[matt]

Trying to teach kids by saying click on the disk to save means nothing to
them any more. Floppy disks are obsolete and young kids have never even seen
one. Update the save icons in Office.

It's an industry standard, you looking to confuse the kids even more?

Why don't you teach them about it? Floppy disks are indeed still in use by
many people.

File - Save As or File - Print was an industry standard too.

Just saying, try telling a class of second graders to click on the disk to
save. Completely foreign to them.

Well F1 still works, please teach them that.
