Love these old stories.<p>Back in the 80&#x27;s in Southern California, I remember making weekly trips to the local &quot;Software Bank&quot; shops, wherein thousands of floppy disks full of shareware and other goodies was traded, record-shop style, in a kind of local swap mart. It had a very solid social aspect - often there were other kids like me, browsing the wares, flipping past endless rows of 5.4&quot; (and later 3.5&quot;) floppy disks, looking for interesting and new software to hack around with.<p>I really have a lot of nostalgia for those days - it was a time when computing was young and special and quite adventurous. Of course, we are still special and adventurous, just not so young.<p>Recently, during a dumpster diving mission, I found myself in the posession of 3,000 brand new&#x2F;unused pre-formatted 3.5&quot; floppy disks, which I have been slowly distributing among my circles to anyone who needs them. However, the space they occupy is needed and the pace of distribution is too slow .. so I&#x27;ve been considering making a floppy-based &#x27;zine, just for the fun of it.<p>Trouble is, what to put on the &#x27;zine, how to craft it to make it interesting, and so on. Does anyone even have a floppy drive any more? (Rhetorical question - in my retro-computing circles, this is sort of a dumb question, since everyone is switching to GoTek ..)<p>So, HN, what would a modern 3.5&quot; floppy disk-based &#x27;zine look like, in your opinion? Would you pay $2 for it? I&#x27;m thinking PoC||GTFO in spirit, inasmuch as it&#x27;d have to be multi-platform and somewhat of a quine .. just .. <i>what</i> should it be about?

So wonderful. It&#x27;s like a modern version of deciphering egyptian tablets.
