We used to use one exclusively for transferring data between a non-networked pc that was hooked up to one of our analysis machines at work and the computer where we process the results.

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.
