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.

Hey folks check these idea's: http://www.etsy.com/au/listing/6278790/floppy-disk-notepad-yellow

 

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.
