Floppy paperweight

, ,


I'm working on a Saturday again and while i was walking through the office i saw that one colleague had a floppy disk cable on his desk. It then occurred to me that i don't even own a floppy disk drive anymore, so i promptly asked him why he needs it. The answer was stranger then the fact that he had a floppy disk cable.

He told me he found it in the office and he's using it as a paperweight, the answer not only sounded sincere, but also logical. It also evoked some memories of when we where young running around with floppy disk loaded with small games like Mario, Lotus and others. Nowadays i can carry around me a full length feature film, music too last me for a couple of days without ever hearing the same song twice and so much more. My how technologies has evolved....


P.s. The strangest thing was that while searching for a cartoon to illustrate this post, i could only find 8 pictures, most of the time i found more then 7 pages of 8 pictures each, so my floppy disk friend may you rest in pieces.
