I just threw out a giant stack of 3 1/2 inch floppy disks the other day, but it’s nice to see that their larger 5 1/4 inch forefathers have become useful in other ways.
From Acorn Studios comes these coiled Note Books that use old recycled 5 1/4 inch floppy disks as covers. Each note book is hand made and comes with 80 sheets of plain white recycled paper.

The Floppy Disk Note Books are available from Acorn Studios for $9.95.
