Why do computers still have floppy drives?

CD-Rs are dirt cheap though. I know I can get them for about the same cost of 3.5" floppies, and in many cases they are cheaper.

I also find it faster and easier to burn stuff to CD as opposed to using floppies. It seems to take forever to copy 1.5 MB to a floppy disk. I also think that CD-Rs are a lot more reliable than floppies, especially these days.

I guess the only problem is that it seems like it's a waste of space on a CD-R to just use it for small files, but quite frankly that's never bothered me much.
