I liked this story. I still have a few floppies in storage as mementos of times long since past. Maybe I'll consider sending in to make them useful for someone

- stinos 11y agoI have a 'picture wall' at our house and in between the pictures with good memories I also put some floppy disks (and cassettes). Looks nice in my opinion and reminds me of those times when taking a picture was still somewhat special, and the output was something to be kept, whereas now in the majority of cases it seems pictures are taken to be looked at once and then forgotten for eternity.
- kqr 11y agoThere are still some of us crazies around who take photos on film and create prints ourselves in a bathroom-turned-darkroom in our homes. Definitely gives more weight to each picture when the turnaround is weeks, and each picture requires hours of physical work.
- jzzskijj 11y agoI still have a good collection of Atari ST demos on floppies. Even managed to find a working floppy drive (had to try three different drives) for a PC to write some recent demoscene productions (2010-2015) on floppies.
