Reminds me that some time back HN linked an article showing that floppies (the 3.5" type, not the 5.25" kind) were still used in Norway to distribute data to doctors.

Thing that came up in the comments were that said doctors were holding on to and older, DOS based, patient record system, because it was all keyboard operated. This in turn allowed a seasoned doctor to work the UI while maintaining a dialog with the patient.
