If anyone has a use for these, they are free for the postage needed to snail mail.

Right!

I haven’t had a computer that used these things for (probably) 30+ years but you know how the old saying goes, One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.

Here’s another oddball idea for you. My family makes high-end natural fiber socks out of alpaca and merino wools. The computerized knitting machines are so old that they require PCMCIA cards to load the programs.

I will spare you the story of what I had to do to make THAT happen.

Anyway, I thought that someone might have a need. 😆

Quite possibly, but usage is a rarity.

Good luck.

I too still have a load of these prehistoric items. They just sit on the shelf and collect dust. :)

Probably better used as coasters on table tops.

Mike, please let me know the shipping fee to 85281. I'm interested. Also, your preferred payment method.

Done deal Bob. It may take a few days though, the post office in our town closes at noon and it will probably go out with the next order of socks. I assume that there is no rush.

USPS is telling me that sending it "media mail" will be $4.35 and that it will take 8-12 days. What say you?

They both have built-in leakage issues. 😂
