Where software or floppy can be loaded (3,5,3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

the worse for wear

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'be loaded' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'where software or floppy' is the wordplay.
'floppy' indicates anagramming the letters.
'where'+'software'+'or'='wheresoftwareor'
'wheresoftwareor' is an anagram of 'THE WORSE FOR WEAR'.

'can' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for the worse for wear that I've seen before include "Shabby; drunk" , "Tired and emotional" , "Drunk (colloq.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
