Hello

Any suggestion as to what to do with a bunch (30 or so) of floppy disks? I can't think of a use for them. The bin beckons...

(I have already built a pyramid and a trapezoid and want something useful to do now!)

Okay. I didn't know who still used floppy disks.

Checking disks for, erm, non-appropriate material!!

I had over 1000 BN disks collecting dust in the loft (having putchased them when they were about 80p each ) tried selling them to no avail, then my son came home one night saying they had run out of FDs in the computer suite, as each child kept their own projects on a floppy.

Following day they them very happy
