i was shocked as hell when i started work at ${current_employer} and found that they actually expected me to load kernel modules off floppy disks. i haven't used floppies in i don't even know how long. i remember i used a bunch of 5.25" floppies as part of a bulletin-board display -- i.e., i stapled them to the cork as a sort of "TECH BYTES!" decor thingie -- in around 2002 or so, but ... i guess i probably haven't dealt with them since... windows 98-ish times? yow.
besides, usb key fob storage, so *shiny*. and it has blinky lights! blinky lights are way better than the croaking sound of a floppy drive head moving around making you wonder if it's eating your disk like your car stereo ate your favorite mixtape...
