                                          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.

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 Not buecaose our computers are outdated.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.
