      Do you mean these?

      They were part of a continuity ritual we performed before they installed cupholders in computers. You’d have to feed them to your pc one at a time when requested, often whilst entering an incantation in the command prompt. The meaning may have been lost to time, but we still use their icon to honour that ritual.

      e: I can’t believe I found these so quickly. They were still on the same closet shelf where I put them in 2002.

        Came across a bunch that have old backups of someone’s data. Also some 5 1/4". Not sure if magnets or a hammer/scissors is the best security destruction 😆
