3.5 floppies are 'old school'. Sigh. I still have SSSD 128K 8" floppies with DBase and WordStar on them. My nephew calls my living room the 'museum exhibit of ancient technology'.

I still have one of those 120Mb Super Drives that uses the double thick 3.5" disks...and I have the driver disk. Not really Old School...yet...but I refuse to throw it out because it is so cool and so much better than 1.44MB drives.

Forget the fact that it is totally useless in any PC platform today. It would make a fromidable projectile...if propelled by sufficient velocity. And it would freak out and kill a zombie...so I'm keepin' it.

I was just at a museum the other day. You know, there's something really wrong about going to a museum and finding yourself tripping down memory lane. I should NOT be reliving my childhood in a museum.
