Death to the 3.5" Floppy?

BawbBitchen writes "PC World in NZ is running this story about PC makers struggling to try to kill the floppy as a standard PC part. Gateway has started to take $10 off the price of a PC if you order the PC without the floppy. Hum, well my Mac does not have a floppy and I do not miss it & my Linux Server has one that I have never used. Does anyone out there still use their floppy?"

BOOT DISK

[shaldannon]

Maybe I'm the only one left, but I find my floppy drive real handy for booting the computer still; particularly for installing operating systems...

This is particularly true since I still have to boot off a floppy to install Linux (something about autoboot and my scsi CD-ROM)...
