Talk about random... - FFing Enigma

OMG, do people still use those? - Tinfoil 2.0

Lady in red is holding a VHS - AJ Batac (/-_-)

the car parked outside uses 8-track tapes - Pete D from fftogo

It was the oddest thing ever! I went over and picked it up and it was labeled with flower names. Took it to the shop owner and she said "Oh, that's a needlepoint pattern disk, one of my kids was playing with it". RANDOM. - FFing Enigma

Stolen from the Smithsonian? - Tapio Kulmala

Don't copy that floppy! - Phil Glockner

wow. my dad still has a huge collection of those with data on them. He has at least switched to using CD-Rs now, but the archives are still there. I have about 20 blank ones I kept in case of an emergency but got rid of the rest. - xero

I had windows xp instruct me to insert the disk utility floppy disk the other day when I was trying to save a computer at work. Yea, no floppy drive. - Mathew™ aka Youngblood

Wade =P I know it was a floppy because I went and picked it up. And this is as good as my G1 pics get when it comes to floppies that are 10 feet away =D - FFing Enigma

That's basically the conversation Dave and I had once we'd returned the disk: how long has it been since we've had a computer with a floppy drive? I think my Frankenstein'd server has one, but other than that the last desktop floppy we've had was on a box from around 2000. - FFing Enigma

Since when women have been interested in floppies? ;) - Jemm

We are now down to one computer with floppy drives (both 5.25" and 3.5"). We have a lot of data on floppies and zip discs, but rarely need to access it. It's just in case. - Anika

WTF is a floppy disk?!?! - Simon Wicks

It's like a thumb drive, except bigger and smaller all at the same time =D - FFing Enigma

+100 @Tina - Kenton

Reminds me of the "cool printer" my kids saw in a store a couple of years ago. It had keys with each letter of the alphabet on it and as soon as you pressed one of the keys, the letter printed on a piece of paper. They thought it was one of the coolest things they'd seen. - Kenton

They hear me roll'n sector by sector, they hate'n - Micah from twhirl

@Kenton: Cool! Real-time printer! :) - Jemm

@Kenton - Wow, I've never thought of an electronic typewriter as being mistaken for a printer. - xero

@kenton they may have thought it was steampunk? - Jason Shultz from twhirl

who use floppies? yuk... - orionstarr

An old '01 Dell of mine which I used until '04 had a floppy drive. I doubt the drive was used more than a half dozen times though. Last time I can remember actively using them for anything but coasters is to store clip art and play DOS games like The Oregon Trail and Commander Keen in the early 90's. - Tom Harrison

I can honestly say I have used one in the last two months. Someone had a piece of software that they needed installed. I found a pc in the office and put the contents of the old floppy on a usb stick. It all felt too strange. That place has more than one 8 year old server running mission critical apps, too. - Tim Wright

I can't even recall the last floppy drive that existed in my house. I did find a floppy in the bottom of a box in my closet not too long ago and I thought about having it bronzed and mounted for displaying on my knick knack shelf. :) - SOMEBODY!

are you sure that your flux capacitor didn't send you to 1989? maybe it needs some adjustment? - Neil Bernhart

I keep one as a backup for sentimental reasons. - Jason (not an Argonaut)

I've got a stack of floppies somewhere. They have my old saved Space Quest, Kings Quest, and Leisure Suit Larry saved games on them. - Pete D from fftogo

@Pete I had all those games. they were awesome. I was a big Sierra fan back in the day. - Jason Shultz from twhirl

Sierra and Dynamix both, Jason. Oh, the days of installing Outpost 2 with its dozen plus floppies...joy! - Pete D

Two words: Oregon Trail - SteVe "Beefy Miracle" C

Dude, if Oregon Trail had been written on the front of this disk I wouldn't have even turned it in. That bad boy would've been slipped in my pocket with a quickness! - FFing Enigma

but then you would have likely died of dysentery. man I always died of dysentery in that damn game . - mikepk

or snakebite. half the people in my wagons always died of snakebite. - Jessie

It's the Apocalypse I tell you!!!! - WoH: Minding her Steves

My wagon train always got lost. My wagon train is still getting lost today it's just called a Toyota now. - SteVe "Beefy Miracle" C

Matthew, take a look at the comments on that blog post =D - FFing Enigma

2019: CD-ROM? What's that? Just a little something that made everyone despise AOL. AOL? AOL was like Myspace before there was the internets. Myspace? Myspace was like a decomposing Facebook that's been left it in a landfill for 10 years. Oh, that's that smell? No, that smell is Facebook. 10 years of crap will do that. - ·[▪_▪]·

we use it! in my office when they want to send information to bank, they use Floppy disk and they always have at least 1 packages with 10! - اکانت قدیمی خیزران

An old lady came into work the other day and pulled a floppy out of her purse. (I work in a Walgreens photo dept.) I didn't say a word other than "ooh, no" with a nose wrinkle and a shake of the head. - ::Kristen::

@kristen did you have to put on gloves and get out the tongs??? :) - Jason Shultz from twhirl

Which reminds me, i have a sister in law that works at khols. They now accept any returns as long as it's something they sell. A guy came into the store she works at to return three week old used underwear. she didn't even pull them out of the bag. - Jason Shultz from twhirl

You might be surprised to know what important things still require 3.5 inch diskettes. You know them big tubes you hurdle through the sky on, many still use them. Updating a working system doesn't make cost sense. - SteVe "Beefy Miracle" C

our library sells floppies for 50 cents a piece. and people still buy them. and use them. go figure. o.O - Miriella

they make for good boot discs in some cases - Logan Lindquist

I think we need a room called RandomRoom, any takers?? :) - Jason

@Jason I think another name for FriendFeed is RandomRoom - SteVe "Beefy Miracle" C

i actually have a usb-powered floppy drive... - edythe
