Uses for Old Technology

You know an older Technology is dead when people start making robots out of it. It started out, at least in my time, with floppy bots (most commonly using 3.5" floppy drives). Soon after, it has gotten to the point where its a pain to get a commercial computer with a floppy drive. Now people are racing tape players and to think, even last year many people were still using those for music.
I guess now the mp3 player is the only way to go. How long until someone takes apart an Ipod and uses the hard drive motor for racing? Speaking of sick ipods, if you have one, this site might be useful (not my fault if you break your ipod, from lifehacker).

Oh well, this is kind of sad, but it might be fun too! I have heard CDs make pretty good wheels for smallish cars.

Back to useful activities ;-(
