When I started work in the late 80s we were using 8" floppies and reel to reel tape drives. Both media got phased out in the early 90s but the computers were only decommissioned a couple of years ago. One went to a museum and we've kept the other one in the computer room. We still spin it up from time to time - it impresses management much more than the stuff we replaced it with.
They were these.
