All the benefits without the magnetism

Those of us who are old enough to know and love the good old floppy disk might be interested in the nostalgia value provided by this new CDR from DesignBoom. Made in the size and shape of a 3.5″ floppy these geek chic discs hold an astounding 200Mb and fit in any standard drive. A $10 it’s not exactly cheap but that’s the price you pay for the living memories.

      CDs are quickly becoming the new floppy disks now as in becoming obsolete. Someone needs to make a floppy disk with a built in USB on the side of it or something.
