In the late 90s when I was in HS we had to carry a single zip disc with us that was 1mb. Prior to that we were required to have 3-5 floppys

Most today don't comprehend how a single decent picture wouldn't fit on one disk. Amazing how we managed to live in anything that small.

I remember my dad bought a 2GB Windows 95 computer. 5 years later he got a 10GB HDD for $300. Win95 can only recognize 2GB of HDD space...

Our big decision in buying a PC was clock speed. Did we want the 16 MHz or the faster much more expensive 25 MHz in 1986. We also bought a

HP 4P (4 pages a minute) laser printer (B&W) on sale for $995.00. Life was good...

That's a huge thumb drive for 128G. You can get that in a Micro SD now with a reader the size of a USB connector.

I found a floppy disk in my dads drawers. Brought it to school where the pc still have drives. Full of porn.
Orzbek
So, two pictures?
4sambucas
actually you could have many pictures on disks back then, since the quality was much lower than the std today
Orzbek
Yeah, I remember those days. I actually miss my ball mouse. That thing got so much cat hair stuck in it, but it was so comfortable.

So doing some napkin math. 128 GBs worth of 1.44mb 3.5' floppy disks would be 266.6 meters high.
CinnamonBunny
I got 300 meters.

128 GB, how many is in cassettes?
VisionismX
A Commodore 64 stores about 100k per 30 minute side so a little simple math and we need 671089 C60 cassettes.

... and the noise don't forget the noise - "former" ZX Spectrum user.

Additional fun fact: Stored in standard 15mm cases that would need about six and quarter miles of shelving to store.

Disc? What chu talking bout

When 3.5" floppies came out I was like, "This shit is getting real."
DoctorWest
Read Error: (F)ail, (A)bort, (R)etry ?

It's actually disk since floppies are magnetic. Disc is for optical media like CDs or DVDs.

You never opened one i gathered. Theres a magnetic disk in there.

Are you guys really that retarded? https://www.englishclub.com/pronunciation/a-an.htm Kinda sad that a non native has to teach you this.
GoodKeming
It's based on the vowel sound. The S in SD is pronounced "es", so you use an, not a. Your article says this.

I love how you have more points than the guy you're agreeing with lol

You and your silly 3.5" floppies. 5.25s were were it was at when I was a kid.

Ahh, the days when you paid for single-sided disks but used a hole punch to make them diy double-sided.

And they were ACTUALLY floppy. Imagine that.

3.5s were still floppy but incased in plastic. The disk inside was still that shitty floppy shit inside the 5.25.

Man the good old days
bobtheaxolotl
Just got myself an Apple IIc, that takes 5.25" floppies. Got a disk emulator for it, because software on floppies is expensive.
bonegrim
Elephant disks were the most coveted
CziltangBrone
Yes!
Blastergv9
I still remember when the 3.5" weren't even called floppies yet. The 5.25s were floppies and the 3.5s were hard disks
CinnamonBunny
That's how we still call them.
perfunctory
We called them "stiffies"!
flawlesssoul
It was simply a common mistake. They were misnamed hard disks due to their construction, and because people didn't know about internal HDDs
Blastergv9
"Misnamed" became the common name though
dazedNconfuzed
Still have a shrink wrapped box of new 8" floppies.

1975. I remember the cassettes and punch cards and having to type out entire programs from mags etc. 5.25s just worked best for the joke.

5.25s? You kids nowadays. In my day we had 8" disks, that held 250k on each disk. Later they were upgraded to hold a whopping 500k!
