Even in the thirdest world places of the third world, there is no way anyone was using 5.25 or 8 inch floppies two years ago.
Why would you think that? We're talking about a country where the average citizen earns $450 a year. If the average person is able to afford a computer, then it's not going to be a top of the line system.
Third world or not, the hardware industry has its own pace! A 5.25" floppy drive is available only with second hand dealers in India and costs slightly more than the isual floppy drive. 8" drives are all in the museums! A CD-R costs half as much a floppy. A CD-R drive costs exactly as much as a floppy-drive and a CD-RW costs about twice as much! Sorry to disappoint you but the rich and the poor use similar systems!
