Scott Hanselman: The Floppy Disk means Save, and 14 other old people Icons that don't make sense anymore

A really amusing article about GUI design, focusing on icons that don't make a lot of sense or are hopelessly outdated.

Unfortunately, trying to come up with replacement icons for some of these (especially the floppy disk) that will be intuitive to novice users is not an easy task.
