Here is your hipster link then: “ Great for storing and transfering data in a non-networking environment.“ That's right, they still sell them! Of course, the whole point of floppy disk art is cashing in on the irony that you have hundreds of them sitting around unused. If you are so excited that you really need to make this project so much you actually can still find them at your local office supply store. If you don't have any on hand try looking in the corners of your local computer lab, IT room, or creepy old shut-in. Still, that is a lot of floppies out there waiting to become nerd art. Those that are not in landfills are now mostly used ironically, or as coasters. If you stack them one on top of each other it will reach from here to someone that is tired of stacking up floppy disks. All of my homework and personal files from 1985 through 1993.That's almost 7,000 Tb.in increments of 1.44Mb each. If you don't believe me, take a floppy under a microscope.Īccording to my sources ( Wikipedia) there were over 5 billion floppy disks in use in 1996. Why else would they have etched microscopic pro-Imperial rants on the edges of the floppy media. Granted, these models are scaled smaller than their dark-side counterparts, but I believe this was a conspiracy on the part of the 3-1/2 inch floppy designers. Now you have a chance to make some heroic models also. I had been feeling bad for posting models only of villains, which is mostly because I dislike all of you. Thanks to the positive response I received from my previous floppy disk art Instructable (itself inspired by a floppy disk Starship Enterprise and Klingon Bird of Prey), I decided to follow up with two new models: The Millennium Falcon and an X-Wing!
