Funny you should mention that --- we now need to go around and hunt for external floppy disks for use in our company. A lot of customers use old automated production equipment and the programs that are written for it must be input by 3 1/2" floppy disks. Took us a whole day scouting computer malls to come up with a vastly overpriced external drive that connects to USB just a few months ago for a customer. Only this way he can use a new computer for new software and it is still compatible with his machines.
Hell, some very old embroidery machines are still be run by tape with punch code.
