Thanks- I’ll bet those didn’t take up much space at all lol-

There are ‘tiny linux oses’ now, but not sure if they are even as small as windows was back in the day?

I think i still have a box somewhere with a bunch of floppy disks on them with various programs and backups we used to do- Our newest computers don’t even have the drives anymore-

Even the in the early days, Windows would take a couple of 1.2 MB floppies. I beloeve 1.0 fit on 1 360kb diskette, in part because lots of people still didn’t have hard drives.
