When the MIS department which I’m a part of started a mass cleanup and purge last year, the boss found a couple of what looked like 10” floppies still in the cardboard.

Yup. . . they're rarer than hen's teeth. Only thing rarer are the transports to read and write them.

The leader had been there over 20 years and he couldn’t remember them ever being used or the hardware that ran them.

He figured they belonged to his predecessor and some long dead system.
