Darth,

"HARDware":  something which is physically touchable, like your mis-behaving
floppy drive;

"SOFTware": a computer program, not physically tangible, but real
nonetheless;

"VAPORware": a *maybe* sometime in the future computer program, just
*talked* about, not currently (or ever?) available for use or testing;
*very* much "softer" & less tangible than regular software. Similar in
concept to "smoke & mirrors", where an illusionist creates an impression of
something which isn't really there.

HTH
