All of them are things I remember and used at one time. Guess that makes me old (well, I am 66 and retiring in 3 weeks)

I have held 8” floppies, but never used them. We were not rich enough to OWN an encyclopedia. I sent postcards and wrote a check last week.

Same for me. No Walkman, no boombox. Couldn’t afford either of them.
Still listen to vinyl though! Pretty frequently!

Exactly what my response would have been.
Though I used 5 inch floppys, never an 8 inch.
