[Fierce Allegiance]

obsolete computers, stacks of Zip disks and 3 1/2-inch diskettes, even the larger 5-inch floppy disks from the 1980s.

I used to lug punch cards for my dad when he rented cpu time on the weekends. I was very happy when the 11" floppy's came along. My dad still has a bunch in his cellar, but no machine to use them on.

11" floppy's

Really? My first floppies were eight inches or something like that. I, too, have a bunch in my basement with nothing to read them on.
