I can remember a time before memory sticks, when a floppy provided a convenient rigid housing in which to install stuff. I saw a bunch of promotional calculators made with floppy disk housings, and several different plans to create MP3 players that fit into floppy housings (mostly, the earphone jack was always a bit of a bulge). Janice has a coin purse made from an old cassette; floppies would work as well.
I had to sit here and think about it long enough to type this before I was sure we even had hardware with a floppy in this house. (We do, but that hardware hasn't actually worked in 5 years.) I sent the last floppy drive in my office to the scrapper six months ago. Threw out all my floppies in the last move.
