Blog: We Spoke With the Last Person Standing in the Floppy Disk Business

Beitrag von cas »

Tom Persky is the self-proclaimed “last man standing in the floppy disk business.” He is the time-honored founder of floppydisk.com, a US-based company dedicated to the selling and recycling of floppy disks. Other services include disk transfers, a recycling program, and selling used and/or broken floppy disks to artists around the world. All of this makes floppydisk.com a key player in the small yet profitable contemporary floppy scene.

While putting together the manuscript for our new book, Floppy Disk Fever: The Curious Afterlives of a Flexible Medium, we met with Tom to discuss the current state of the floppy disk industry and the perks and challenges of running a business like his in the 2020s. What has changed in this era, and what remains the same?

Danke für den Link. Das Interview ist echt klasse.

:lol:
There’s this joke in which a three-year-old little girl comes to her father holding a floppy disk in her hand. She says: “Daddy, Daddy, somebody 3D-printed the save icon.”

Hallo Andreas (CC)

Die Frage war retorisch gemeint. Die Firma gibt's doch noch, oder hatte ich die Seite dann doch ganz lesen müssen?

Tschüß
