But there's 30 editions of that book or something? That's fun

Random #ThriftShop stuff, including a #TMNT mug and some #FloppyDisks.
What am I going to do with the disks? Probably something ridiculous.

In her delightful forward to "Floppy Disk Fever: The Curious Afterlives of a Flexible Medium," Lori Emerson describes people visiting he Media Archaeology Lab. She describes the delight - even for people too young to possibly have nostalgia for using floppies - of using those computers and disks.

Behold! The majestic rarity that is the ED 2.88MB #floppyDisks used by my #ISDX #TelephoneExchange
There are even some diagnostic disks in here that “might” work with the firmware revision mine is running!
This is beyond exciting!
Combined with the spare drives I scored today, these will allow me to back up my running config before I lose the lot by fiddling with it!

If you liked this design, TeePublic has the discounted intro price for another five hours. So get 'em while they're... floppy? I guess? 💾💾💾💾

But then again, in the movies all computers are compatible (except when overcoming the incompatibilities is part of the plot), so I guess you could just use a Zip disk instead for additional storage capacity. It fits practically equally well in a shirt pocket.

Today's Floppy Parts is when you write a letter to Ben saying you have a crush on a guy named Weiner and hope your boyfriend doesn't find out but then years later your boyfriend sells that floppy disk on eBay so it's most likely he did, in fact, find out

Last night I had a dream of an Amiga 500 Maxi with an external USB 3.0 floppy disk drive. You could buy a lot of floppy disks only produced for the Amiga 500 Maxi to make copies of your Amiga games.
What do you think if this dream would come true?

An #ebay special. A #zipdisk that came in a large lot of #floppydisks. Contents not too exciting but definitely a #piratebay or #snearkernet keeper.

I consider myself quite fortunate to have been just the right age at this point in time back in the "home computing" era to experience this:
