Fall of the Floppy, Demise of the Disk



How long has it been since our faithful friend made a run on our machines?

A moment of silence for the fallen warrior of the tech battle; the 1.44MB (1.38 after taxes!) Floppy.

And Sony JUST decided to stop selling floppies, as of 2011? What century have they been living in? For the love of Pizza! You can now email yourself WAY more in terms of documents, pictures etc.

I do not know about the rest of the world, but I disconnected my floppy disk drive the minute the internet went mainstream. The minute the word USB was first uttered.

Good move Sony, little too late though.
