dannyboys And I thought I was an old geek for five and a quarters and three and a half's (yep, still have some of each, backups of data made of course) They smell good what can I say, I also love that "heavy" sound the old drive heads make "whirrr, chunk!" - it's such a great sound. I still like the modem connect sound too - I use it as my ringtone
My first 'computer' was a 'word processor'. LOL It used 5 1/4ers. I still have some laying around with some 3 1/2s.
A Psych professor in his class one day announced he had been talking to someone in another state who claimed someone had figured out a way to transmit words from one, what they were calling 'home computer' to another home computer a thousand miles away using the phone lines!!!!! Some of us laughed at the outrageous claim. Some of us asked where we could get one of these 'home computers'.
That was the beginning for me.
