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).

I have 5.25" floppies in a picture frame; they're the original game discs for the Apple II, Ghostbusters and Silent Service. 
I actually still use floppies on a semi-weekly basis; If I need to transfer data to my old Win95 laptop that has NO usb ports, then I use floppies.
I also use floppies when I don't feel like pulling out my UFD/Ext. HDD to shuttle around data.

Silent Service existed before the NES? Wow. I oughtta fire it up on an Apple emulator, which reminds me, that I haven't got to play the Apple Maniac Mansion yet, or completed one of my videos for the NES I meant to get finished. I'll have to wrap that up...
