What's a good use for old 100 MB 'zip' disks - GoFuckYourself.com

Amputate Your Head · 05-17-2005, 08:09 PM

I got 8 of them. Found 'em in an old notebook bag in the corner of my office here. Hate to just throw them away....

Platinumpimp · 05-17-2005, 08:11 PM

Eat 'em.

Just put data on them ofcourse; music etc etc.

The Truth Hurts · 05-17-2005, 08:11 PM

they're useless for data as far as my needs go... I have a stack... (literally.... about 20) of 250 GB HDs, removeable, Firewire, at my disposal..... these zips are like floppys at this point.

Plus, it's not like I could put something on it and send it to someone.... who the fuck still has a zip drive in this world....

Put them in storage.

They might get old and rare like 8-tracks

MuleScrote · 05-17-2005, 08:19 PM

Old hardware nerds are plentiful on ebay, I unload all sorts of outdated stuff.

well, that's basically what I got going on right now.... but it seems like a waste.... I mean shit.... if you add up all 8, you got almost a gig.... that should be worth something. Maybe like, a couple bucks or a beer or something at least.

dunefield · 05-17-2005, 08:22 PM

i still have heaps of zip disks lying around just gathering dust...

Serge Litehead · 05-17-2005, 08:22 PM

too light for paperweights and too small for cupholders

uno · 05-17-2005, 08:22 PM

Do you have a table with a one short leg?

Stomped · 05-17-2005, 08:23 PM

Face it a gig isn't worth much these days.. not even a beer

Tanker · 05-17-2005, 08:27 PM

they go good in nerd soup

Amputate Your Head · 05-17-2005, 08:28 PM

what about picking out random addresses out of the phone book and mailing them out 1 at a time anonymously....

Amputate Your Head · 05-17-2005, 08:29 PM

hey, I got it! If I take this shit to a school and donate it, I get a donation receipt I can write off on my taxes right?

JD · 05-17-2005, 08:30 PM

Amputate Your Head · 05-17-2005, 08:32 PM

Definitely use the zip disks for coasters Amp.

i'd say use them as coasters too. I'd have them dipped and dried in some sort of polymer though. they'll last longer and look cool as shit. expecially in about 10 years when no one knows what they are and urban outfitters starts selling them for 35 bucks a dozen.

Sounds like a good thing to do

FilthyRob · 05-18-2005, 12:40 AM

I must have about 100 of them still. Stopped using them after one crashed on me and I lost a file that I had worked on and used for about a year or more. Luckily I had a backup, but that was about a month old. Sucked ass.

I think you would get to write off their depreciated value, or $0
