    I'm cleaning house and I think it's finally time to get rid of my floppies. I'm sad to see them go so I'm creating this obituary.

    You could store 'em somewhere :)

    They've been stored for 15 years. I'm never going to use them.

    Lol. Floppy discs. They were perfectly fine back in the day, now you couldn't store a picture from a loading screen on them.

    How are you getting rid of them? I hope you're not binning them, I'm sure a collector would want them.

    I'd probably have them - I've got a few old floppy games which I like having for the packaging. That said, they do take ups lot of space and I have no way of using them so I've never bothered to get many. Just thought it'd be a shame to bin them when people would probably buy them on eBay.

    I've got a computer with a flopydisc drive and as such I occasionally buy DOS games off of Ebay. I don't know why but I like legitimately owning stuff, so I don't bother downloading DOS games. Anyway, like monsly said, see if you can sell them somewhere. I know that there is a market for them on Ebay at least.

    I suppose if I were artsy I could glue them to a board and make a wall montage.

    How can monsly resist the floppy charms of Epic Pinball Cyborgirl?

    You monster. I bet you'd convert an antique cupboard into a media unit given half the chance.
