I bought a generic USB floppy drive three years ago. I think I paid about $10-$12 for it. I needed to access an old diskette I found in the bottom of a drawer, and wanted to know what was on it. That was also the last time I had any use for it, and now sits in the drawer space formally occupied by the disk! It keeps company with a 'Zip drive' that hasn't seen any use for even longer. With the price of 128gb flash drives or memory cards going down so quickly and storage size going up just as fast, it may soon make even hard drives be relegated to that same drawer!
