For me, it must have been 20 years ago in 2005. I got Kingston's 512MB flash drive for a Christmas present and oh my how great it felt to hold so much of memory in my pocket. After that it was clear to me that there is no use for floppies to me anymore.

I'm ashamed to admit that I didn't own a 1541 until early 2009. I was a cassette lamer.

So for Easter 2008 I have handed in a commodore 64 executable music entry on cassette at breakpoint. I think they were the last to require entries to be submitted on physical media.

In the years after I still used a lot of 5.25" and 3.5" on my c64, Amiga and Atari.

Today I have a turbo chameleon 64, a c64 ultimate and a gotek drive on my Amiga. I don't miss diskettes.

As for USB drives. I got one for Christmas 2001. It had a whopping 32mb of storage and required proprietary drivers to mount.
