Single Sided Double-Density

Kinda miss the old 5.25's. Had thousands of them.

I guess it's better now. Sort of.

They did have a sort of charm to 'em.

I'm old enough to have started with the big 8-inch ones. Bought two Shugart drives ($400 each) and hand-built a floppy controller for my homebrew 6809 computer so I could read and write the diskettes. Man they were slow, but at the time it was so much better than cassette tapes...

Oh, Gawd listen to me. :-)

Yes it's definitely better now.

They make great 500 yard targets for plinking.

Put them on white butcher paper for a back ground and let her rip.

CDs same thing....
