In some ways, the floppy is still usefull IF you have older computers. In a pinch, they are usefull with PC's. I have a PC out in the office library, and if I don't want to take the time to connect the compact flash through the USB port because its only a few pictures, its preferable.
For backups, floppies suck, especially with the bigger HD's these days. CD's and ZIP disks are preferable. But if there's a demo or game in DMS you want to take a quick look at, having some floppies around are indispensible! The old hardware requires you have a few at least.
Its true though, its the end for the venerable old floppy.
