Show your love for the days of retro computing with a pair of these fashionable Retro Virus Floppy Disk Earrings (necklaces pictured, also available as a keychain!). Choose from 5 styles, each inspired by a different computer virus: Skully (Blue) - Based on STUXNET, this virus was probably the first cyber warfare weapon developed by an agent state, and targeted Iran's nuclear program. Wonky (Green) - Based on BRAIN, one of the very first computer viruses. While not destructive it became a part of computer virus history. Sassy (Yellow) - Based on MYDOOM, while technically a computer worm, this virus quickly spread through the internet and targeted companies like Microsoft and Google. Happy (Red) - Based on ILOVEYOU, this virus posed as a love letter in an email, and after opening would send itself to everyone in the user's address book. It was so bad that companies decided to take their email systems offline to prevent infection! Mehrel (Orange) - Based on CIH, or the Chernobyl virus. This virus was considered extremely dangerous because it could reside in a computer's memory and infect any applications being run by the user. It is called the Chernobyl virus because some variants would delete data relating to the nuclear accident.

I used a pair of calipers to measure the dimensions of a real floppy disk, then scaled it down by 66% on the X/Y axis. Then added in some cute faces.
