Okay for real though... storage size? Terrible I agree.
But I've been kinda obsessed lately with the form factor of diskettes. They're:
Nowadays, if we made a diskette that basically replaced the magnetic disc with flash memory, and the shutter protected the connectors, you could hypothetically store like 1TB in that space, it could likely be read super fast, and would obviously be way more reliable than the old "Oh no a speck of dust ruined my 2MB file" of old floppies.
I'd even settle for an open standard akin to Sony's chunky little Memory Sticks...I liked those.
