A moment of silence please

I would like to have a moment of silence for the death of the Floppy Disc. Sony, the last manufacturer of the floppy disc, has announced that they will stop production in March of 2011. Now I can't claim that I was part of the workforce when these guys were still popular, but I can't help but laugh when I think about needing 10 discs to move our packaging design. While the floppy will no longer be a main stream product (if you could ever call it that), I'll be interested to see if any fan fueled passion pops up like it did with the Polaroid instant film did.
