I still have some 5.25s that I failed to rescue the data from before giving away the computer that could read them, so now I have stranded data, the likes of which I don't even know is needed or not. I also have plenty of 3.5s, and I still have a fairly-recent drive that can read them. I still need to hunt down some boxes of them I have stored somewhere.
I also have some disks that had data saved on them from a Mac, but without a Mac, that data is also considered stranded. I still plan to keep using my floppies for some time, though only for certain data storage anymore/permanent backups (like games and such).
