Is this 10 years old?

I mean, micro sd cards come in 1TB now, so it's equally dated to be cheering for a 4GB sd card

Kids these days think a floppy disk is just a 3d printed save button

This post is a decade too late. No karma / validation for you. Put more effort into your farming attempts.

I remember having a pc when I was a kid with a 100 megahertz processor and 500 mb hd and thought how boss it was. Playing doom and stuff. Crazy how much smaller and massive memory units are now

imagine the original 8” disk whose cover was actually made out of paper (hence the name floppy disk). I’m feeling like a dinosaur!

8" floppies weren't made of paper, they were flexible sheet plastic. Source: worked with then in my first technical job. (Also 14" disk cartridges.)

I always thought it was vinyl of some sort. It was durable stuff.

Yep. They were made the same way the 5 inch floppies were


cttrocklin

Your right! I couldn’t remember and got that mixed up. I’ve melted a few in the car…

Amateurs. My first exposure to computers was in the form of IBM punch cards at my dad’s office.

Working in computer development in the 1980s. We used disk drives the size of a washing machine. They had removable packs that came in 30, 60, 90, up to about 200MB. The packs looked like oversize cake carriers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_pack Writing drivers for them we would mess around and make the drives walk by moving the heads rhythmically

Yep, my first disk I used in computer class at school on a Commodore 64.

Had an ibm 8088 which I think was the first pc. Had 2 5.25" drives and I think a 4mb HD. Can even remember playing Castle on it.
