This happened today:
I work at UC Irvine, new and previous students are giving presentations
on their area of research (1st week of school). A student's turn comes
up, he walks up to the pile of media computers... with a floppy disk.
It turns out that in our entire program (Arts Computation Engineering)
only one computer, an administrator's, has a floppy drive, via which we
transferred the file to the fileserver.
In the entire first year of the program (2003-2004) not one person ever
tried to use a floppy disk. (So-called; a 3.5" 1.44M.)
There you go.
