Luxurious push button floppy disk AND MO disk holder (lemmy.ca)

Pretty lame I guess but this is pretty fancy and looks like unused and unopened. It really slowly, smoothly AND silently opens up.

Now to find magneto-optical disks.

Is it just... A... Box? Like does it do anything besides you can put floppies into it?

Where you see a simple box, I see practicality and luxury combined.

With the deluxe color of GREY

Since it apparently was in its box all this time, it has no yellowing. Now all my vintage computers look like shit.

That's actually incredible. I used to have stuff that was that grey or white plastic, pre yellowing, and it honestly didn't look that bad. I'm not that old, I swear.
