WOW, I mean this man can predict the FUTURE... WOW! (Its like saying "the Sun will shine tomorrow")
BTW, only true Amigists respect floppys enough.
IMHO, they are still great for most tasks like transferring docs.

Well my USB flash disk lasted for half of year and then it just died. On the other hand, I've got floppys from 80's (3" ones for ZX Spectrum+3) that still work without BB.
I mean surely&obviously floppys are slow and small capacity, but they are still useful.
