Me too. I actually find myself using it quite a bit. Part of my job is
maintaining my company's elderly computers (the general ledger is still run on
the CP/M version of dBase...!) so being able to access floppies is still super
important (though my MacBook Pro no longer supports USB floppies).

Blu-Rays and DVDs are also great for backing up. And while I have an AUX port
in my car, sometimes I just prefer to have a few CDs I can throw on and not
have to worry about plugging my phone into something.
