What to do with your old 3.5" and 4 1/4" floppy drives?

Make them into musical instruments.

That was discovered about 2 years too late. I got rid of my last FDD quite a while ago. :D

Of course, there ~IS~ a computer recycler/thrift store in town, so if I got bored, I suppose I ~COULD~ go pick up a few for a couple fo bucks each, and an Arduino is reasonably inexpensive... Hmmm...
