This is an unretouched photo of a 5.25” floppy disk I unearthed while cleaning the junk closet.
It holds 1.2MB of storage.
That’s not even enough to store the full sized photo of itself.
I think it is blank because there is no label on it. But we’ll never know for sure because no one I know has a drive capable of reading it. I last had a drive capable of reading it in 1996.
Yeah, I’ve been hanging on to a possibly blank disc I have no way of reading for almost 13 years.
I’m thinking I might start calling the junk closet my “antique closet”.
Someday, far in the future my technologically advanced descendants will find it and wonder what secrets I might have left behind on the unreadable mystery disk.
Obviously, not photos.

Isn't it amazing how far technology has come? Have you decided to finally throw away the old floppy??

LOL Gosh it has been ages since I have seen one of those. I'd hold on to it, maybe it will be worth something one day!
To me it seems like yesterday computers were gaining popularity-now I can't keep up with the technology
I found you on moms ad exchange and love your blog so far.

Remember the shock when the iMac came out without a floppy drive? Oh, the horror!
