1) Yes, I remember 8 inch floppies.  I even remember changeable 20MB back up 
disks that had to be wheeled to the server on a dolly.

2) Yes I have 720K 3 & ½ inch floppies.  I even have several working 5 & ¼ inch 
floppies and a working drive.  What do you need them for?

3) Yes, my wife made me through out nearly everything when I moved, but I have 
some stuff still lingering in the garage ;)

I remember them.
I used them (back in the 1970's) when I worked
   at TI (in Texas).
I do not have any.
