I can't say I /miss/ floppy disks, but I do miss the form factor.
There was something very reassuring about those slender cassettes
(especially 3.5" disks); a solidity and presence that said, "Yes, I am
here holding your data". Slotting the disk into the drive and getting
that reassuring 'clunk' was quite satisfying too. Smaller form-factors
- like thumb-drives - never quite recaptured that. I think it's why I
loved ZIP disks (and its competitors, like LS120 super-floppies) so
much.

At least they were much harder to lose than the numerous USB thumb drives I've got now, and all fit in the same container the same way.
