Nostalgia is a great thing. It would seem that progress acts on our side, makes life more convenient, therefore, remnants of the past should be forgotten like a bad dream. But nothing of the kind: with tears of affection on our cheeks, we listen to melodies from old console games of the most eerie graphics quality, we sentimentally store floppy disks and audio tapes.
We have already written about cassettes: flash cassette and an overview of design ideas related to cassettes. Now we will talk about floppy disks.
Many, I think, remember this loud crunch of a floppy drive, when he did not find the cherished square floppy disk, remember school computer science lessons, where they told how much information would fit into it (however, I would not be surprised if they still talk about this in schools). I remember how special pieces of paper were glued to prevent the necessary information from being erased. And one realizes how much, it turns out, one can fit into a few kilobytes of information - now everything is perceived quite differently, they say, oh, I have only gigabytes of free space, I urgently need to transfer my movie collection to blank discs.
For lovers of nostalgia, Supermandolini has made this set. In fact, these are, of course, not floppy disks, but … glass coasters. Well, because using floppy disks to store information would be too weird right now. And to place a cup of tea - just right. Especially if you are accustomed to drinking tea or coffee, sitting at the monitor at night, and building an army of cups on the table. And keep the table relatively clean and unspoiled, and no kitchen napkins and carved coasters will spoil the entourage of your room hung on the ceiling with old hard drives, disks and motherboards.
