Dear Floppy Disk,

We’re gonna miss you! You were rigid and plastic yet durable… your colors were bright and many. When we first met you could hold every document we thought we’d ever need to save on your double sided 1.44mb platter hidden behind that spring loaded door. Every once in awhile we’d take you for granted and just toss you in our bag and you’d get a bit gnarled but no worries with a little bit of TLC and a news aluminum door stolen from a donor disk we’d be back in business.

Thanks for the memories! Please read the floppy disk’s obit below which has been very poorly translated by Google.  The 3.5 inch floppy is survived by it’s great grandchild the Blu-ray disk.
