When I bought my most recent computer (just over a year ago), WoC said they didn't install a floppy drive as standard any more, but offered to put one in for an extra £4. I decided it wasn't worth it, and haven't regretted the decision yet.
Given the same decision a year or two earlier I thought "fuck it, it's only 4 quid". Since then I think I *have* used it a couple of times, as I have some very old PC games on floppy still. Mostly I just boggle at the fact it always tries to read the floppy drive when shutting down, and I've no idea why!
