This is awesome. And yes too much free time, :rolleyes:

Looks like the floppy composer Gigawipf does have a crap load of time on the pc.

I thought that floppy disk media went down the same path as 8 track and VHS tapes, namely the road to obsolescence. Then a Google search revealed that they are still available. You learn something every day.

I read somewhere about a guy who used them to tile his little garden shed roof.

Personally I like the simple note pad made out of a pair of 3 1/2 inch floppy disks. The pad contains 40 pages for your writing pleasure. ;)

Clue: It's something you need allot of auto-correcting strips to use.

Still have one on the indoor porch, can't complain as it taught me how to properly type before I had to take the mandatory typing class during my high school days. That one my mother bought for me way back then cost what an off-the-shelf computer costs nowadays.

We used to have people come to our house to use mine/ours so they could type a job resume, they were too expensive for what little they did.
