Yesterday I had to get some ten-year old reports off a dusty set of 3.5" floppy disks. A friend said I should take note of the event, being possibly the last time I ever use a floppy (not to mention the first time I've used one in the better part of a decade). Photographic proof of the dead-media event:
They're pretty; you have to give them that much. On the other hand: I took four pictures of the disks, and each image is larger (averaging 1.7MB) than the capacity of each of these floppies.
