Wait, why are people still using floppy's in 2010 in the first place?

many electrical/system engineers would still use them with slightly older equipment. Almost all our oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzers can write data to a floppy disc. We also have networked versions so we don't use floppys, but I can see why they would still be in use.

or even some industrial robot's...
