Watch That Tiny $74 1.5GHz Android-Powered Thumb-Puter In Action What to do with a mess of floppy disk drives, an iMac straight out of 1995, and some free time? Daniel Blade Olson whipped up what’s almost certainly the world’s first (and only) RAID array using floppies.
Now this is one amazing Goodwill find: A vintage pop-up book designed to teach burgeoning nerds about the wonders of the modern computer. Floppy disks, ASCII, and the dot-matrix printer. Oh my.
The first is fully covered with keyboard keys-with the hood keys showing a pixelated Homer Simpson-, the second with floppy disks and Compact Flash cards, and the third one with Lego pieces. Fugly or purty?
Floppy disks weren’t exactly known for their data security, but as a safe I think it could really handle the job. Unfortunately, the “Safe Save” is only a concept render at this point—which is disappointing because it would definitely be a cool real-world product. [Tebe Interesno via Apartment Therapy]
Designed by Greek geeks-at-heart Supermandolini, these floppy coasters are cute things to stick beneath your drinks. Measuring 3.5″ square, a set of six will cost you US$41 and make you wish you were still licking your brother at Asteroids all over again. [SuperMandolini]
Pop this USB 2.0-connected gadget into a spare drive bay in your PC and you will be able to read Smart Media, Compact Flash, Memory Stick, Secure Digital, MultiMedia Card, MicroDrive memory cards and… 3.5-inch floppy disks? You will have to spend US$39 to discover if those 1987 backups still have any data. [RedFerret]
Just as burning a girlfriend a CD will never be as romantic as making her a mix tape, so too will sharing pirated software prove a heartfelt disappointment on anything but floppy. So one (genius?) designer has made CD-Rs that look like 3.5″ floppies. At $US8 apiece (for 200MB) in packs of 4, they aren’t the best bang for your buck—but if and when a new Wing Commander ever hits PCs, you’ll have the proper media to share it.
