       @penguwin just managed to make me feel *incredibly* old.We were talking about computing history, and I realized that he never used DOS or floppy disks in his life. When he was born, these things simply weren't a thing anymore.Like 👴 talking to a 👶!

       @fribbledom My first computer didn't have a hard drive. My first hard drive was 5MB and you had to calibrate it to the proper interleave. It was also large enough that it could be used as a lethal weapon in a fight.Try explaining that to a kid who grew up with microSD cards!

       @sj_zero @fribbledom From my personal collection.  The 10mb mdm on the left, I tripped over in the dark as a teen.  It won the battle, and my toe still bears the scar to this day

       @fribbledom I never had to use DOS either. In fact, I grew up with XP and didn't know Windows ME or Windows  98. After Vista was released I started wonder whether XP had a predecessor now that XP has became one.
