I was over at my friend Michelle’s house again today helping her with more sorting. She has year’s worth of boxed stuff that needs gone through. A lot of it she has thrown away or donated. There are bills and papers to file. I went through a stack of local restaurant coupons today and tossed out anything that was expired.

One of the hardest things for her to get rid of is years and year’s worth of floppy disks. Most of them do not have information and files on them she needs anymore, but it is hardwired into her mind that she can reuse the disks in the future.

I told her to walk into her bedroom and look at her computer. Is there even a slot for a floppy disk? Look at your own computer right now? Does yours have a slot? Mine doesn’t. Most people either burn cd’s or use USB flash drives, with the trend moving more and more to the flash drives daily.

Yeah, we tossed all those disks.
