Believe it or not it was as recently as 1997 that the most blank floppy disks were sold, the following year being overtaken by CD-Rs
I can absolutely and totally believe it! I left Australia at the end of 1997, and remember well the aftermath of Windows 95 - a LOT of folks I knew were really unhappy with it right after it's release (for reasons I don't know - I was still using my Ami and didn't really care that much). But there was the hype of Windows 98 on the horizon, and not many folks couldn't afford CD-RW tech at that time for backups - I knew a lot of folks that were bulk buying floppies 'just in case'
