floppy discs?

Recommended Posts

Anyone have a use for about a hundred 1.44MB used floppy discs? Just cleaning out my closet and found these. They're old Microsoft Excel install discs and some others. Free if you need 'em and want to pick them up. Otherwise they're going out in Tuesdays trash.

I think the zip ties cost more than the floppies.  I know the pens do.

still looks cool for those of us who remember a time when 1.44MB was an awesome amount of data to fit on such a small disk!:)

Go one step further for us old farts.
I remember the 5’s, the 8’s and data reels.
I had a Unix box here that used the 8s.

When I started work in the late 90’s we had systems where the only persistent storage was reels.  They’re still fielded/supported though slowly upgraded. Hard to find CMS2 developers.
