I would have never bought UT2004 if I knew it came on 2800 floppies. :|

I'd say 10 years when the last known working PC is known to have a USB port.
Why do people want floppies to die ? They are extremely portable and pass-on-able.

And easily corruptable, and only hold 1.38 megs.

There are still dozens of reasons to use them and thus they will still go on. Just last month my office finally got rid of its last non-USB computer. So for a long time we were required to use floppies to transfer files (internet is NOT always an option and these same computers could not read burned CD). There are still plenty of ~300 MHz machines out there which need floppies to transfer files yet still work just fine for office work. I say it'll be 3 years to get rid of these computers in most buisnesses. Note these same computers often cannot boot from CD either (making a floppy another useful thing).
But still, I have yet to find ANY product where I can transfer a 1 page word file from home to school and back faster than with a floppy.
* Floppy takes ~ 10 seconds.
* Internet - dialup takes a minute to connect not even counting the time it takes to open a program and email it.
* CD - even if I had a burner at home it'll take 2 minutes to burn the smallest file at work.
* USBkey - it takes ~ 5 minutes to plug one in at work (I have to uninstall the other USB components) as the USB key I have is too fat. At home, the USB slots are slanted down and I cannot reach them without crawling on the floor making it a 1 minute job to plug in.
