Mostly everyone over 40, and even some younger ones, still have some old floppy disks with files that may or may not be of value.

Somewhere in my mother's house, there still is (hopefully) a floppy disk from 2006-2007 with my teenage self's diary. I wish it is preserved

I had my Tools disk and my MSDOS gaming boot disk, tweaked and tuned to perfection.

Those were the best of times.

Little me didn't know that was the gateway drug to coding.

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