Thats kind of funny, i was JUST reading an article about how nearly 1 million floppy disks are sold in the UK every month to this day.

Ace_luffy · 04-28-2010, 08:54 AM

i still have Floppy Disk , still a cool stuff

96ukssob · 04-28-2010, 08:54 AM

good riddance! honestly, its about time and not sure why they didnt die off long ago.

with solid state drives and memory cards, they are smaller, hold more and more convenient than any type of zip disk or floppy plus do not require a special drive.

sextoyking · 04-28-2010, 08:55 AM

End of an era....

I was so dang happy when the old big floppy's were replaced with the small ones

I loaded my first 2 bbs's with the small ones, wildcat and gcomm....

That doesn't seem right. From the article:

Quote:

Sony is the last manufacturer of 3.5-inch floppy disks, and while the company sold more than 12 million of them in 2009, Sony has just announced it will stop making floppies as of March 2011.

Sony only sells that many in a year, apparently.

k0nr4d · 04-28-2010, 09:44 AM

Biggest floppy disk company apparently is verbatim

MrBottomTooth · 04-28-2010, 10:15 AM

Holy shit, can't believe Sony was still selling 12 million of them a year in 2009. Who would buy them?

Hmm. It's still possible to buy the USB version here in Russia because our fuckin' tax inspectorate still accepting the tax return forms on floppy. Not buecaose our computers are outdated. Just because our tax inspectorate programmers are brainless.

digitaldivas · 04-28-2010, 11:06 AM

didn't the web standard JUST go from 800x600 sites to 1024x768 not too long ago? A vast majority of people are still pimping outdated hardware

I don't remember when I used floppy last time... Years for sure...

bronco67 · 04-28-2010, 11:56 AM

It's amazing news that some company sold 12 million last year.

I haven't seen a goddamn floppy since 1996. Who the fuck is still using those things?
