etard Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I like that. Just imagine what 25 more years will bring, probably being storing all that data in a single cell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SylenT Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I love when users bring my IT department boxes of old floppies to "remove all the data". We end up just chucking them at the door and seeing who can create the best explosion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.J. Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Nice! I still have a couple of 8" floppy disks that were used on PDP-11 machines in the early 1980's. I got them from a guy who attended UCSD at that time. Most people have never used them since they didn't make it to the PC era. They look just like the 5.25" floppy disks in your pic, but they're 8"x8" wide. I still have some Microsoft Windows 1.0 360KB floppy disks in a box somewhere. There were 5 of them.

M.J. Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Here's another twist on memory storage over the last 30 years... The first PC's came equipped with 128KB of RAM and a 360K floppy disk, two of them if you upgraded. Today, my Android phone (Galaxy S3) has 1.6 GB of RAM and 16GB of storage. For reference, 1.6 GB of RAM = 1,677,721 KB ... compare that number to the 128KB in the original PC's, My phone has 13107 times more memory than the original PC had!

etard Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 First, I hate to be an immature 12 year old, but I laughed hard at that statement, I bet you enjoyed handling those 8.5 inch floppies (you asked for it) Second, Oregon Trail is the best game ever made, at least when I was 8. I even downloaded a free version of it for my iPad a couple months ago to bring back glorious memories. Oh to be young... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fusion Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 lol. I remember we only had two computers in our class, and the first ones finished got to play in free time, (basically the first two got the computer lol). So it was a mad race every day to finish first. Everyone that didnt get to play would just stand around and watch. Oregon trail and snake was all we played in class or the computer lab. I would hunt until the game would tell me I have too much weight to carry and would have to start throwing away meat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puss in Boots Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Nice picture. I remember one of the first internet memes was a cat reaching around a computer screen to touch his owner's hand touching a floppy disk as he is pressing it in. The caption was "DON'T COPY THAT FLOPPY!" Man I'm old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
