Next on the digitization death march are 3.5" floppies. I've been sent thousands of them over the years. I'm going to just image and scan them and pack them for perm storage.
May I present the first 847.

Floppies read by Applesauce, and the front of the floppies scanned in a flatbed at 600dpi.
I won't be stopping until all my donated floppies are online.

It's not about rhyme or reason or being careful - there are doubles, the contents may be different than the labels, and of course many scanned labels seem weird or dirty - likely they've seen the floors of offices for years.
But they exist now. Someone can download them, curate them, find the value. I hope they have a joy doing it. For me - it's about moving on through the next few thousand.
