I remember having a piece of software that would split a file into 1.4 MB pieces so you can back up a large file. I remember having a video spread out over 8 of those puppies.

I remember taking my homework to and from school on a floppy disk. You could buy them in bulk in rainbow colors. I’d start my paper in the library and save it to a 3.5″ diskette and then pop it into my home machine and finish it.
Time is a mother fucker.

You 3D printed the “Save icon” from MS word? Impressive!

Damn, haven’t seen one of those in years
Hey look, someone 3D printed the save icon.
My BIL works at a place where they still use 8” floppies for a certain machine.
Whats the interface for a floppy drive now? IDE is gone, do they make sata floppy drives now?
Who uses them, why would any one use them?
I have coasters on my desk shaped like 3.5″ floppies. They look right in the slight clutter.
Ten years ago I was servicing an ATM that still used floppy disks to store records.
got a pack of fresh save icons right ‘ere

You work at the Smithsonian?
in the 90s my dad came back from work one day with a couple of these that had a game called [Ken’s Labyrinth](https://www.google.com/search?q=ken%27s+labyrinth&client=firefox-b-d&sca_esv=0bc39af9d1d15b37&sxsrf=ACQVn0-yhtUonfJqEjQEWh_VBvraA0_tuw%3A1713120989840&ei=3SYcZpvyMpS2hbIPo6enkAU&ved=0ahUKEwjb1LmAscKFAxUUW0EAHaPTCVIQ4dUDCBA&uact=5&oq=ken%27s+labyrinth&gs_lp=Egxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAiD2tlbidzIGxhYnlyaW50aDILEC4YkQIYgAQYigUyBRAAGIAEMgUQABiABDIGEAAYFhgeMgYQABgWGB4yBhAAGBYYHjIGEAAYFhgeMgYQABgWGB4yBhAAGBYYHjILEAAYgAQYigUYhgMyGhAuGJECGIAEGIoFGJcFGNwEGN4EGOAE2AEBSJMjUOQLWIgccAF4AZABAJgBlQGgAdAKqgEDNS43uAEDyAEA-AEBmAINoAK3C8ICChAAGEcY1gQYsAPCAgsQLhiABBiKBRiRAsICChAuGIAEGIoFGEPCAgoQABiABBiKBRhDwgILEC4YgAQYxwEYrwHCAhoQLhiABBiKBRiRAhiXBRjcBBjeBBjgBNgBAZgDAIgGAZAGCLoGBggBEAEYFJIHAzUuOKAHyowB&sclient=gws-wiz-serp) on it, which i loved.
