I suppose. I am in the process of cleaning out my parents house and 
threw away probably 100 pounds or so of boxes of unused floppy disks, 
including a bunch of 5 1/4 inch floppies. I don't think he had any 8 
inchers around, but he did have a Windows 95 CD.

The dump also got an unused 17 inch CRT and an unused HP inkjet printer.

Sigh.
