I remember MS-Word classes where they told the students to click on the save icon and to say it looked like a TV Set. It was really a floppy disk but the instructor said TV set in case students didn't know what a floppy disk was or what it was used for. This was before Office 2007 and the ribbon interface. I think it was Word 97 and at the time most people saved files to hard disks instead of floppy disks.
I remember people used to customize the toolbar and replace the icons with different icons as well.
I guess the new generation of computer users will not know what a floppy disk was used for, in the age of where USB drives replaced the floppy drives. They know it is the Save icon, but not what it was used for.
