How about reusing floppies, instead?

And it's laid out, not layed out. There's even spell check on this site, man.

Get a small 4Gig USB flash drive and fit it iside the floppy, then brag about having a 4 Gig floppy :P

you can get a ton of USB floppy drives then put them in a raid setup

for example, you can get get a bunch of USB 2.0 hubs then connect about 100 floppy drives then setup a striped raid and get close to a whopping 10MB/s of performance

you will also get about 139MB of storage where you can put you can save upwards of 40 minutes of 720x480 h.264 video to

skeet shooting comes to mind. have someone toss them in the air for you and shoot them.

I have tons and tons of them laying around on my desk. I reuse them as coasters so I don't ruin me desk.
