A link to an article in Digg talks about eh floppy disk being put to rest just like the video player, cassette deck and film camera. So, when was the last time you used a floppy, huh? And you don’t see them whenever you buy a new PC or laptop.
I think the ZIP drive is also on its way out. I still have dozens of ZIP drives in my closet from way back in college. The king of the portable storage device will ultimately be the flash drives, if we could only get them a little bit cheaper these days.
See discussion on Digg.

I still have Mini-Floppies lolz. and they’re still on good working conditions, I can still play my old games for 8086 and 80386 lolerz.
Yep, I bought a new PC (Core 2 Duo) last week for my birthday, no floppy drive, but instead a bunch of new-storage drives, and 7 USB slots (imagine that).
I just wish WinXP put an update to allow us to delete the Drive A because WinXP produces error when shutting down :/ it checks for Drive A which doesn’t even exist.
i still have about 4 boxes of used floppies at home. some of them still work. They still have their use (when my flash disk is not around).
