Another fun way to display a diskette: I keep a 5.25 floppy, 
conspicuously labeled  "SYSTEM DISK --- SAVE" near my PC at work,
in case of needing to boot from the floppy, rather than the hard drive...
No big deal...  BUT the floppy in question is stuck to the side of
a file cabinet with a small, round loudspeaker magnet. Really draws
stares/questions fom newcomers... The *really* neat part is when they
call me on it, I pop it in the drive, reboot, and do a directory of it.
Then I tell them I have "special" magnets for the job, "don't try this
at home..."
Of course, the system tracks, FAT, directory, and first xxxk bytes are
on the outside edge of the diskette; I put the magnet (with the diskette
in the Tyvek sleeve) directly over the hole.
