Floppies really overstayed their welcome, though. Zip drives were
popular in some circles, then CD-R came along and finally USB sticks.
But they all had high prices and compatibility issues initially.

CD booting was fairly well handled and there was even the option to
emulate a floppy, so that you could put a floppy image of your choice
on a CD and you could boot that while still having the rest of the CD
for other things.

In comparison, booting from a USB stick was pretty much hit or miss
for quite some time.
