First ever PC owned

[UID=0]

Definitely those Big Bendy Black Disks. Those were originally called floppies. As you can imagine. The A: drive was reserved for diskettes. Which I think comes from small disk. Which is also logical as they were mini hard disks. That time probably HDD were like 20mb or something. The rest is history. Does anyone here still use a diskette sometimes?

Yeah, a few of my older PC's, all heve 20 MB HD's.

To answer the last question you asked there about the diskettes.

Yeah, I have used them fairly recently, within the past few months or so,
as I have an old PC with me that I don't use very much, that doesn't have a CD drive
and I think the USB port doesn't work, as I couldn't seem to connect a memory stick or an external USB HD to it, hence my infrequent use of diskettes.

If there is an old application that I'd like, that is maybe too big for the floppy, then I have a couple of file splitting/joining apps that I can use to get past that problem.

Ahhh, all the fun of old fashioned computing....;)
