    Fine, I’ll do it:

    Why the hell are the floppies in the bin with the label-side down? Nobody used these with the shutter-side up. How’re you going to read the missing label when they’re upside down?

      I think this is a showcase photo for the case and the flipppies look better amd more like generic floppy disk with the metal slider on the top. It clearly communicates the purpose of the item, and the keys are in to show that it locks with a key and there’s 1 spare key.

      Because those little metal things stick together and could ruin the disk when you accidentally snag it. This way, you could see how they are against each other and not snag them.

        And just have to pull all of them out to get the right one, right?

          You’d browse through them like a rolodex. The disks can tilt forward in the box to make that easier.

            That really depended on how full it was, yeah?

          Color code to narrow it down

            Just checking… color code on the labels? The labels that are on the bottom?

                I remember my dad getting a pack of colored floppies and (~)11-year-old me being estatic at the cool colors.
