> And I've just noticed that the "save file" icon in word processors isn't a floppy disk as it used to be.

Maybe the one you're using. But the "Save" icon in the most popular word processor is a 3.5" floppy disk: http://i.imgur.com/WLFtT7A.png

This is the latest version -- Word 2013.

ahaha thanks :) I checked on LibreOffice and naively assumed that anything else would have a more modern icon set.
