Any reason USB flash media didn't make the list? As far as I can tell, that has overtaken pretty much any rewritable media for day to day use (at least in the PC arena). The only use I've seen for floppies in the last five years is for transferring info to and from old FPGA programmers, logic analyzers and the like.

You left out my personal favorite (while it lasted) the LS-120 or SuperDisk. The drive and disk looked like a 3.5" floppy. In fact you could use the drive for regular floppies. It held 120 MB and connected as a IDE drive.
Like a floppy, it was magnetic recording but it was manufactured with an optical track that located the head with high precision. These served me then as my USB stick does today.
