Some Old Disks
Uncovered during seasonal tidying, a small cache of 3.5 floppies, still sealed with their “license agreement” stickers.
Why do I blog this?
One of these disks has been left, unopened, for thirteen years. The other came in an eight-inch box, decorated with Alber’s trademark screenprints, that I used as decoration. Now, possibly six years after tossing the disk but keeping the box, it’s impossible for me to get the Albers font off the physical media that it came with. These objects have changed from useful, legally guarded tools to technological detritus.
