I can remember the days before floppies, cassette tapes. I had a ZX Spectrum with a whopping 48k of memory and all my games had to be loaded using cassette tapes. It took some games 5 minutes or more to load and the loading process wasn't always reliable. The first time I used floppies was with my Commodore 64 with a 1541 disk drive which used 5.25 inch floppies (the true floppy). Fond memories!

As I said, I was an adult (and in the navy) roughly 10 years before the first personal computers. And there are some around here who can call ME kid!
