It's an overcast but warm morning, supposed to be nice later on. I'm taking my personal laptop to work and I'm going to spend some time working on a table outside the library because I need some vitamin D production time.

I'm clearing out a nook in shelves in my office as a place to put boxes of note cards and xmas cards that I actually use. The items on their way out are Zip discs. I have a drive for up to 250meg disks and the only thing I do with it is backup my Quicken files. They are a durable type of media, but most of the discs I was given by a friend are 100meg. I'm going to sell the lot on eBay unless someone needs some blank disks. I started formatting them this morning. Last time I used them was back in the 1990s to back up my old laptop. Yeah, they're that old. But they still sell on eBay, surprisingly. I think it is because of their durability, compared to the old floppy disks, and the drives are easy to set up externally.
