That may be, but it was cited that one of Sony's best selling accessories is the usb to floppy drive. Therefore, the despite the lack of visible floppy drives, this accessory can be indicative of a nice number of floppies, and considering just how many "old" computers I see at different places, including restaurants, mom and pop stores, and others, I'd say that many don't feel it is worth the upgrade for such places. As for progressive fields, such as education buildings, franchises, and extraneously luxurious services, seeing an old single core sub 1ghz computer becomes less and less likely.

All this can lead one to consider just what type of social group they are in. I'll bet you spend quite a bit of time around other computer-educated, or at least, avid computer-using people. I know I am. And, I think it could go as far as to further segregate the types of people you'll see with computers, but I'm sure you can make that step on your own.

My main point is that, although I don't actively think about the number of floppies being used/bought every day, I'm not surprised to hear this news.
