The money quote from the article - and it is so well put - is : "Over time, the total number of floppy users has gone down. However, the number of people who provided the product went down even faster. If you look at those two curves, you see that there is a growing market share for the last man standing in the business, and that man is me." My floppy story is: In the late 90s 3.5" floppies were ubiquitous and the Zip disk was the new kid on the block. 5.25" was a thing of the past and I'd never ever seen a 8" floppy and I did not expect to see one either. This was until I interned at a Siemens research lab where they still had 8" floppies. Why? Because the room-sized, several floors below ground housed electron microscopes used them.
