Disks Aren't So Floppy Anymore Today, floppy disks are much smaller and compact. The data contained on a disk's little magnetic circle is protected by a hard plastic covering. If you're new to this whole computer game, here's a few more things you might like to know about floppy disks.
It would seem, at least on the Macintosh side, that the
days of using floppy disks is numbered. I have a closet full of them (as
most every designer does) and never use them. Though pages of written
data or a small Website will fit on a floppy, most graphic files won't.
I wonder if I could tile my bathroom with them...? Tip: There are Graphic Design classes in your area. Sign up for FREE information from top design schools.  Some

o,
why is it that floppy disks aren't very, well, floppy? Actually they used
to be "floppy" back in the old days (the 1980s). Back then,
floppy disks were quite a bit larger than they are today. They measured
5.25" square and were made of a flexible plastic material (like the
ones to the right). They could easily bend if you held them horizontally
by the corner. Heck, you could actually bend them so that two corners
could touch but I wouldn't lay any bets on the safety of the disk's data
if you did.
