Many people had several of these disks. Some, like me were “back-up” freaks and saved everything on those little disks, collecting literally hundreds of them. With the continuous advancement of computers and technology, these disks have become obsolete.<br /><br />So, what has become of the millions of disks made from plastic and metal?

I could not live with the guilt of throwing away so much non-biodegradable material. So, I gathered up all my old disks and rescued thousands more, and decided to create recycled art with them. Now, instead of adding to the destruction of our environment, these disks have become art that can last a lifetime.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">To see more go to: </span><a href="http://www.disk-art.com/">http://www.Disk-Art.com</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2397019582911544535-2217131486146687926?l=disk-art.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Disk Arthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07771149980913021936noreply@blogger.com0
