Not in the corner. You could use it in the office. This probably was a lot more common 15-20 years ago.

Great its made by Kraft, but guess what, it was the same Kraft that made joysticks for the atari's back in the early 80's. I don't think they exist anymore.

Technically it cuts a corner out of the side of the floppy disk to make it HD.
waynet
11:26 pm on Jan 31, 2004 (gmt 0)
Nope, they didn't have HD 20 years ago.
DrDoc

Cut to make it writeable?

11:27 pm on Jan 31, 2004 (gmt 0)
HD stands for High density. It took the disks from 720kb to 1.44MB
lgn1
11:27 pm on Jan 31, 2004 (gmt 0)
if that is not it, then it is a floppy disk destroyer
DrDoc

They didn't have 1.44 Mb disks 20 years ago though... Maybe 360Kb :)
