Date: 2010-04-26 01:59 pm (UTC)We've been using USB sticks for around three years I'd guess (so that's what I voted). I think we still have the disc in a draw in my lab. I have a box of old discs lying around here somewhere, but my current machine doesn't have a 3.5" drive. In fact it only just occurred to me that it didn't.

Date: 2010-04-26 02:16 pm (UTC)The last time I touched a floppy disk was ... yesterday. Though it was only to move it from one box to another.

Date: 2010-04-26 02:33 pm (UTC)So yeah, 3 years ago for a very minor reason - much longer for actual proper use.

Date: 2010-04-26 04:16 pm (UTC)Otherwise, I haven't used a floppy for personal use at all since I first got a Mac, and that was over eight years ago. I'm much more gutted about the demise of cassette tapes than I am about floppies to be honest. Though I'm about to acquire (a) a commercial cassette tape, and (b) a copy of some music to learn on cassette tape. I am boggled by both these things, but fortunately have a cassette deck around here (designed for the transferring of information from cassette deck to MP3).
Separately, I was explaining this research to Marianne earlier today, and discovered that she had never seen a black and white TV or monitor. Other than on TV.

Date: 2010-04-26 08:10 pm (UTC)I never had a black and white TV - my dad always liked having new technology, so they had a colour tv from before I can remember. But I certainly saw them a few times - as well as ones with dials on the front.
I also never had vinyl - the first album I had was on CD. But then I started late with that. The last of my tapes only went a few months back, when Julie moved in and we went through a lot of our stuff that hadn't actually been touched in months/years.

Date: 2010-04-27 02:05 am (UTC)This, pretty much, only I'm prety sure it was more'n 5 years ago, but I'm not sure. It was during an office clearout, so probably 2004 when we moved site, but...

Date: 2010-04-26 04:56 pm (UTC)I don't want to throw them away until I'm sure I have the pictures on some other kind of back-up media, but I know it's going to be a pain to check them out. Hopefully I can take my flash drive to the library in the hopes they have machines with the 3.5" slot.
