TR is still pretty popular in hospitals since we tend to have a lot of IBM
stuff and it's very difficult to do major changes in a 24/7/365 critical
environment. In fact I still have a scant amount of DLSW running SNA
traffic over my IP network but for the most part we're all Ethernet/IP these
days.
I don't remember what my original CCNA exam (1999) had on it as far as
topics go. I do remember IPX, Appletalk, TR, etc. in the CCNP exams and
expecially on the first CCIE written I took back in '01 or '02. The good
ol' days of bitswapping and RIFs. ;-)

FDDI - actually had a customer requiring a replacement switch the otherday.
Had a failure, and their spares had finally run out. I still see Token Ring
that is installed and running. A lot of IBM Mainframes and FEP's out there.
