Floppy Disk CDR is expensive & not floppy

Floppy Disk CDR

You might remember the floppy disk. Your trash bin or closet certainly hasn’t forgotten. In the good old days, you used to get them in the mail in such numbers that they were used as coasters. Their enemies were heat,magnets and pressure. Well, these are not your usual floppy disks.

Inside their casing, they hide a 200 MB CDR. Stick them in your floppy drive and nothing at all will happen. But stick them in your CDR drive and the square disks will spin away. If you have missed writing on their labels, each has a different colored label, so you can write what’s on them just like the old days. $14 for a single Floppy Disk CDR, or $32 for four.
