I used some machines that had 8 inch floppies. Now a lot of machines don't even have floppy drives.

I still remember the first time I heard the term "gigabyte" - and remember thinking "man, that's a lot of disk space". Now you can blow multiple gigs in one sitting.

I remember that 10-meg winchester drive that was bigger than a dictionary and now I see those USB drives with 512 meg that are smaller than a Bic lighter and I marvel at the changes.

I have seen the 8" floppies, but all of the computers I used had the 'small' 5.25 floppies.
