I recently built myself a new computer (core i7).  It was the first time I build one without a floppy drive.  It actually felt weird.  Normally I end up using one to at least load a few drivers such as the sata controller, but everything worked without needing to do that. 
I kinda miss the first time I started using computers and found a few floppies that I could store stuff on, and eventually bought some.  The concept of putting a file on it and bringing it to another computer was awesome.  Now it's just taken so much for granted and without a second thought.  Heck, I can probably transfer a file to my online server faster than it would take to put that file on a floppy.
