Floppy disc memorial, IET, London


In a hallway on an upper floor of the IET building, one wall is covered with sort of memorial shrines to great inventions in electrical and computer technology. Finding this floppy disc here was both delightful (it certainly deserves its place) and nostalgic, throwing me back to the days of my childhood when I would check out floppies from the library and bring them home to copy DOS freeware games onto our computer, ASCII graphics and all. My favorite, for reasons that I cannot any longer understand, was one about mowing lawns.
