I still think nothing beats diskettes in convenience, too bad innovation stopped.
Also diskettes were cheap enough that if you gave one to someone, you probably did not ask for it back. USB Drives, not so much. Also flash drives are not 'flat' like diskettes were, so there would be a bit of a bulge in the envelope if you needed to mail one. FWIW, I know Lawyers who still mail documents out, but now they use flash drives.
Yes one could use CDs, but burning them is a PITA sometimes, plus many Laptops no longer come with a CD Drive these days.
A but OT, but I have noticed recently some Flash Drive Tolerances are a bit off. I have some flash drives that you need to apply a decent amount of force to plug them in, others fit in easy. Diskettes never had this issue :)
