RIP


I still have tons of these laying around, while I don't use them anymore, it's an end of an era for computer users.


And you young'ns that grew up with CDs...1.44mb was all that was needed most of the time!

[Gridfan]

Nope, it was 720 disks. (Amiga rocks)

[Drexlore]

Griddy, the 720s were only around for a few years, do they really count?

Also, the 5.25s!


Or punch cards.....

Yeah I still have a bunch of those laying around too. Mostly stuff I saved from an old job actually. I'm not even sure why I kept them except that I was always very possessive of the databases and spreadsheets I created in those days (and never trusted a single one of the dolts I worked with to do a proper back-up).

I used to have a bunch of 5.25s as well but I got rid of those a long time ago. Along with a bunch of back-up tapes from my old compaq deskpro.

Am I the only one here that still has reel to reel tapes and 8inch floppy disks?

[Dasubervixen]

8 inch floppy what?

Oh, "disk"

[Jairyn]

my gawd, if your "disc" is 8 inches and floppy, that's a scary thought.

Speak for yourself.

LMAO... poor Doc.......

[Shigy]

They've been dead for a long time lol

[Drexlore]

They've been dead for a long time lol

But now it's official! Just because no one really used them since about 2004 doesn't mean they were dead...just resting!

Nope! I still got a box of 8inch floppies.
