I found this old software on a medium I don't recognize at my church. Does anyone know if this has value to anybody?

It's the guts of 3.5" floppies, like these, they usually stored 720kB, then 1.44MB, but the latest versions (double sided) were 2.88MB.
The larger one at the bottom is from a 5 1/4" (orange in this picture, the big daddy in the picture is 8", first type I used, with COBOL)
... and now you kids know where the "save" button icon came from.
They were not meant to be removed from their protective envelopes, they're probably damaged now.
I remember having a CD burner, dvd burner, floppy drive, and Zip drive for those rare occasions.
Felt like we could store the whole world on 100mb zip disks
