Japan has now officially "won the war on floppy disks", having finally scrapped the many regulations governing their use in and by the government. It might not have been a war you were aware of, but it's been waging for over two years.
Being just shy of 30 years old, for me, floppy disks feature in memories of a bygone era, where disks could be inserted into your machine with a satisfying thunk, perhaps to boot up Doom or another classic DOS game. Those memories are hazy, though, and many of you might have no memory of floppy disks at all.
