The death of the floppy drive

 This is a 2.5 inch floopy disk storage media.

I found this disk as I rearrange my storage files here at home. I assume, millenials can’t even recognize its use, in as much as today’s PCs and laptops don’t have a slot drive for it anymore. In short, this is obsolete in this 22nd century fast changing world we live in.

Perhaps the least I can do now is just to keep it, to remind me that once upon a time, before a powerful external hard drive popped up, there was a floppy disk that could store massive files in Wordstar, Printmaster or Banner formats back then in the early 90s.
