Floppies haven't been used in computers for years.

Y'all must have old and antiqued computers.

First there were the 5 1/4 inch flobby, than the 3 1/2 inch floppy, than the CD, than the DVD, and now flash drives.

I cut my teeth on 5 1/4 inch in the mid 80's and towards late 80's early 90's the 3.5 disk. By 1995 it was CD which almost immediately was replaced with DVD and than flash drives.
Bought a Brother ULT2003D that takes a floppy disk. My computer is certainly not outdated. I did ask for a floppy drive to be installed when the computer was built. So floppies are still being used on computers and sewing machines.
