 I like the floppy icon.

 "HDD" icon is being broadly used nowadays, but as somebody pointed in
this thread, not every user is familiar with computer inside, so
changing from one thing that they haven't seen to another one which
they also haven't seen doesn't make much sense.
 "Optical drive" icon is a bad variant because people usually do not
save the documents directly to the optical drive; instead they usually
tend to associate the "CD" icon with CD/DVD burning process.
 "USB" icon is also not a better solution, because not every user
knows what this sign means (although they probably can see it on many
different devices).

 In any case, the traditional "Foppy" icon just works. Why changing
something that works? The policy of making changes for their own sake
does not seem a good one to me. Just my thoughts.

The icon for opening a previously saved document is an open folder with a curved arrow pointing *out of* it. If a change to the Save icon is deemed necessary, perhaps it could become the same open folder but with the curved arrow pointing *into* it. Or would that be too confusing to the eye? Different colour(s)?
