We had an information system that we used in the 2008-2011 timeframe on our military deployments that only used 3.5" floppies for data offload. Since we wrote our enormously long post-mission reports during each actual mission and had no desire to spend hours following the mission re-writing them from scratch, the week prior to deployment was always filled with folks fanning out to every office supply store we could find in a desperate search for any remaining boxes of disks so we had a sufficient stock to use 2-3 disks per mission and allow for the inevitable disk failures/attrition. It was tough finding them then, can't imagine trying to find them now!
