3) Object: Floppy Disc

Album: OK Computer (1997)
What it Does: Saves your screen (it's a screensaver).
How to Use: "Copy 'radio.exe' to the Windows directory ..." blah, blah, blah. Unless you have a computer with a floppy drive and a functioning copy of either Windows 3.1 or Windows 95 (remember that watershed moment in OS history?), it's useless. Which is okay, because you probably didn't have any desire for a screensaver anyway. Might this be evidence that Radiohead has long been practicing the dreaded, Apple-perfected act of planned obsolescence? Perhaps. Or maybe -- just maybe -- they're so future they've lapped the present and most of the past. What? Get one here.
