Okay, it’s probably not the “world’s largest” … but it’s the largest one I’ve ever owned.<\/p>\n

I currently own literally thousands of vintage 5 1\/4″ floppy disks. Over half of them are the same ones I accumulated back in the 1980s on my Commodore 64. The rest are ones I’ve picked up here and there since then. Up until recently, these disks have been stored in milk crates, cardboard shoe boxes, and mismatched vintage disk containers. <\/p>\n

While roaming the stores a few weekends ago I ran across the following storage container:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It’s a Sterilite 3-Drawer Cart. They retail for around $20 and can be found at Walmart, Target, and Big Lots.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As you can see, the cart slid right underneath my built-in desk up in my computer room. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Each drawer holds 3 rows of floppy disks. Each row holds just over 150 floppies; if you pack ’em in tight, you can probably get 500 floppies in each drawer. If you really wanted to, you could probably cut some cardboard “rails” to run in between each row, but so far I haven’t found it to be necessary.<\/p>\n

In my defense, Big Lots has terrible lighting and I thought the cart looked black (and not purple) in the store.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
