I would presume that boot floppies should be around for a little
while longer but floppies are too small to be used much longer.
I have been noticing more and more computers being sold that don't
come with floppy drives anymore. I'm not just talking about Mac's
either. We have a bunch of little machines we use for single
purpose servers, and they don't come with a floppy or CD, so we
hookup a CD to get the install started and do a network install.
Good luck.
