benson,
I remember my father telling me about floppy disks 😉
When I was in college I had to use a slide rule first year. Electronic calculators didn’t come out until 1974-75 when I was a Sophomore.
Goooood Morning M*ther F-ing Asshats!

Randolph, put my sock puppet in it!!
No way this whore will ever end
Thanks, bxgrl. I think he finally found them online somewhere.
Anybody got anything 8″??? Sorry, its hump day and I couldn’t resist.
When i first started working in a scientific lab they had an old computer which was the size of a fridge, hummed and heated the room up to 90F and had two slots for these huge floppy disks – I’d say 8 or 10 inches.
Steady on DIBS.
I’ve got a bunch 3 1/2’s dave if you want them for your friend.
VisiCalc, benson. That’s where it all started.
benson…a friend of mine has a paino and an organ and they both have the capability of playing off of disks…3 1/2″ floppy disks. He can’t find them anywhere anyomre!!!!
Benson,
I have a few boxes of the 5 1/4 floppies. I use them as hall passes for my students.
Some of the boxes are still shrink wrapped. Maybe I can sell them on eBay and retire with the proceeds….
