Currently used as my office doorstop.

I know what it is, I'm just wondering if anyone else does.

No, it is one of these round magnet tape things they used in the old days of computers to feed the machines with data, the big computer centers I mean, not just some private mini-PC. I don't know the specific term for it. To me it is the "round tape thing".
