Seeing the news about Japan losing two floppy disks containing citizen information, I thought I'd at last get an extenal floppy reader and check my pile of old floppies.
Getting rid of floppies was a mistake. We should have increased capacity and keep it as a cheap and viable way of transferring content across terminals/workstations. The share culture was much more vibrant with floppies being handed around friends.

I still have an external floppy drive and around 80% of the floppys, most of them around 25 years old, we still working absolutely fine. I love the sound of a floppy...while flash may be fast and so, it definitely lacks "haptics". · 3 years ago
Wasn’t that was Zip drives tried to do? · 3 years ago
