On: Sony Announced Death of the Floppy Disk

[jluxenberg]

"Sony sold a jaw-dropping 12 million floppies in Japan during 2009"

Who is still buying floppies in 2009? Maybe legacy systems where the only way to get data on or off of the device is via a floppy. I've see oscilloscopes like this ( i.e. http://www.atecorp.com/equipment/tek/TDS794D.asp )

Grabbing data from an o-scope was the last time I used one.

I still keep a floppy drive around in case of bios flashing failure on older machines.
