Kelson's Photos

This popped up on a flashback post today. Back in 2009 I was exploring a disused railroad spur in an industrial park and found this 3.5" floppy disk just sitting there.

The tracks have since been ripped out. This section was turned into a walkway for a commuter train station on the main tracks a couple hundred feet behind this spot.

@kelsonv Did you try to salvage any data from the floppy? :)

@MMWW Nah. Too many stories, even back then, of people picking up random flash drives and getting malware infections.

@kelsonv Yeah, I guess there's a risk. I would probably have tried reading it in a throwaway-computer of some kind... My curiosity would have gotten the better of me :D
