What's a good use for old 100 MB 'zip' disks
 

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....

Eat 'em.

Just put data on them ofcourse; music etc etc.

pull.

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....

They make great coasters.

[QUOTE=The Truth Hurts]pull.

hmm.... I like it :)

maybe a decorative pattern out near the front walkway?

I also have the PCMCIA notebook drive that goes with 'em.. (MicroTech)....

anyone maybe wanna buy this shit?

LOL :1orglaugh

Put them in storage.

They might get old and rare like 8-tracks

Old hardware nerds are plentiful on ebay, I unload all sorts of outdated stuff. :2 cents:

ebay somebody might

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.

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

too light for paperweights and too small for cupholders

Do you have a table with a one short leg?

Sell them on EBay

actually I do.... lol
my lower level patio table is on a slant..... :)

would have to superglue a few of them together though....

I hate ebay.
I bought 2 different things off there at 2 different times from 2 different people.... and both times I got fucked.

I want nothing to do with ebay ever again.

I got a CD-RW thats almost a gig.

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

they go good in nerd soup

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

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?

i've got a zip drive if anyone wants it

remember installing Windows off a few floppys.... lol

those were the days man.

who gives a shit

the same people that give a shit about you posting "who gives a shit"

nobody.

you can write if off on your taxes. and oddly i still have a zip drive on a machine that i still use for a few things.

i think that the last time that i used it was maybe 98'

This is your chance to get even :winkwink:

Whenever AOhell sends me one of their CD's in the mail I use it for a coaster. I have a good-sized matching set going.

Definitely use the zip disks for coasters Amp. :thumbsup

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.

:thumbsup

Sounds like a good thing to do :)

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 :)

Man I used to love my zip drive...that's where all my downloaded porn went. ;)
