Really? Really??? The Deal of the Day at Microcenter is a Floppy Drive?
Wednesday, December 16, 2009 Incase you hadn't noticed there is a new option in the Menu (to the left of this post) called "Daily Deals"
We have posted links to a lot of popular daily Tech Deals sites (if you have ideas for other sites, please let us know!)
But Today's Daily Deal from Microcenter, really has us scratching our heads.... Really? $1.49 for a NEC 1.44 MB Floppy Disk Drive. I guess I could also see more use for this if this was a USB External drive but those are still around $24.99.
Now I know we are all about salvaging old Tech here, and hey, if you have a use for such a fine peice of vintage tech, but at this point, I find it kind of hard to believe that you could be a geek and not have a drawer or box of these stashed somewhere for a rainy day... Or atleast the next time you need a DOS boot disk... (And don't have an internet connection to download an ISO of Hirens Bootloader...)

UPDATE: I stand surprisingly corrected... Microcenter has sold out across the country. I guess there really is a demand for some of that old tech. So how come more people don't listen to our show?
UPDATE UPDATE: Ok so now they have stock again... I'm confused... Oh well. Guess you can still buy a floppy drive for Christmas.

Who still use Floppy Disk anyway? But the price $1.49 is really funny. Probably CD-s will not be in use for long. I wonder what will replace CD. Anyone?
