Step 6Love It

Love It
Now use it. Draw a keyboard inside. Take orders at the Geek Cafe. Or show it off to all your friends. Just have fun with it!

If you run out of paper and you don't want to make a whole new notepad, just cut some more paper, desolder or unbend the rings, and add the paper.

I'm trying to find a "post it" pad that's the proper size to mount between the floppies. Thanks for the great idea!

You can use binder rings from an office supply store if you want to refill the notebook many times. Drilling through the floppies and the paper is a good idea!
