Floppy Discs; who still has and uses them?

[71-hour Ahmed]

I just got rid of my last three floppy discs today. It was slightly surreal as I discovered that my newish PC doesn't have a floppy drive, which I'd not even noticed for 6 months until today. I had to use the laptops USB floppy drive to get the data off them.

Anyway, this got me wondering, given that I only really stopped using them 2 - 3 years ago, who else still has floppy discs and drives, and who is still using them (or can admit to it, you 19th Century luddites you! )?

I'd be really impressed if anyone still has one of those 5 1/4" discs they had when I was a child.

Haven't used them since my floppy disc drive broke many years ago.

I still have them, but never use them for a long time...okay, maybe not that long, but they're no more than "antique stuff" now

I dont use floppy disks, but I have a fd drive.

I still have quite a few, including Win95 on 3 1/2" floppies. I never use them of course but have never thrown them away. I did use floppies quite a bit in my last job but that was the exception. I haven't used any 5 /14" floppies or 3 1/2" 720KB (Double Density) since about '94. Quite a bit before my time there were the 8" floppies which I've only seen in college lectures.

There are occasions where you simply need floppies, such as booting from one to flash a BIOS or something similar.

Still have them, rarely use them. Usually, if I'm troubleshooting or installing I might need to use one. I probably haven't actually bought a new floppy disc in close to 10 years.
