This is a nice design that offers the chance to get some of those old computer floppy disks, they used to be how programmes were put into the computer and on which data was stored, they were cool and now they are no longer needed.
Here are the facts and features for the floppy disk style sticky note pads:
Ditch your boring yellow sticky notes for floppy disks
This is something that all computer users might need at some time; it can transfer your files no matter how large they are or in did what they are. Apparently, you can dock just about any old drive into this device and it may seem strange but sometimes that is going to be useful.
