Surprised you were still using a floppy disk in 2006-2007! You have decent odds, that’s pretty young for one.

Not sure why my parents chose to put a floppy disk driver on a desktop computer bought in 2006 (perhaps some seller was very convincing?), but I thought it was cool, so I used it sometimes. It was also cheaper than USB-sticks -and less likely to lose
2006 is close enough to 1998 that floppies would still be around in business settings, or for other specialized devices like embroidery machines.
I think I stopped adding floppies around that time.
