...12 inch floppies?...

I did a safety system for NASA in Huntsville that included 14" floppies for announcement playback. Those were just pitiful.

I feel old, when I started out working for the fed/gov manual typewriters were our tech. Data storage was a file cabinet and the copier was called carbon paper. Constantly changing ribbons lots and lots of whiteout. Thinking back I have no idea how we did it.

We were mesmerized when the first electric typewriters showed up.

Floppies maxed out at 8". Hard rives, as far as I know, got as large as 14".
