I actually only started using a computer about 1999, but yes, I did use 3.5 floppies a lot. I even used a utility called something like Mad floppy that would increase the capacity of the 1.44Mb drive to something like 1.99. But never used the 5 1⁄4-inch drives.

Remember 8” 500K floppies for the Radio Shack Model II or better yet, hard sectored 5 1/4” floppies for the Northstar Advantage running CP/M?

I remember when computers were tools with unlimited possibilities and no downside, and not the means of our oppression which have to be constantly regarded with suspicion.
