Thanks to Google, it reminded myself. I want to say, oh god, there’s still people on earth using floppy disk as a data saving tool and it’s my school.

I was in charge of some editing work for the school magazine and they got me a floppy disk and I didn’t know how am I gonna read it because I have not been using this for like many years. Moreover, I don’t have floppy drive.

I remembered brother has a USB floppy drive that comes with his Fujitsu laptop years ago. I dig everywhere in my cupboard and found it lying there covered with dust.

After connecting via the USB, I found out that it doesn’t work. “USB not recognized.” Oh my god, tried all ports and it still doesn’t work.

Gave up and I’m not going to work for it anymore. Will just ask them to transfer it to a flash drive or something.

This is not cool, that’s why Mac didn’t have a floppy drive last time, but yet it’s still so cool.
