The death of Paul Allen got me thinking.
Have you ever seen a floppy disk lol? Do you know the difference between a 3 inch disk and a 5 inch floppy disk?
they stopped making PC's with those in the early 2000's.

I'm not much older than they and I know what all that shite is. If you are 20 or older you probably know what that is

Better question is if they knew what a word processor was.

Under 45...do you even know what a magnetic tape drive or a cartridge system magnetic disc is on an IBM mainframe?
Have you ever seen a SMS card? Do you know the difference between a single width and a double width card?
they stopped making mainframes with those in the early 1970s

What was the memory size on a 3 inch? 1.3 mbs?
Not sure about a floppy.
And like another poster said having to partition a drive because windows would only recognize so many mb's
You might have drives A-I

1.44mb I believe

I remember the first time we bought a computer with windows on it for work.
Playing zork on the commodore 64, waiting with excitement for 1.5 minutes while it loaded.

I have a B:\ drive on all my virtual servers. Made it part of the corp specs. A little throwback to the day.
