Big, square and

Big,
square,
black and
floppy. Stuck
in a big toaster-
like thing that made grinding noises.

Written for NaPoWriMo day 13 on the subject of nostalgia. Can there be nostalgia for 8-inch floppy disks? I suppose there can be, as this fibonacci proclaims.

    Progress isn't always a great thing, is it?

    Nice Fib. I never had an 8 inch floppy, but I really miss those 3" ones that you could label and file and find again! My hard-drive is like a maze, and I spend too much time searching.
