When I started doing tech-support we were still using five-and-a-half’s. There were still some eight-and-a-half’s around. So floppy you could roll one into an electric typewriter and type the label
Took/takes a minute …

Hi Ten bears. Wow those bring back memories. Floppies were on the way out when I got into the business full time. But my first computer barely had any memory everything was on floppies that had to be switched in and out. In the military we used punch tapes and large magnetic tape drives. I am still amazed at how fast things were moving back then. Every two years you needed to replace your computer and could afford to do so. I remember my second computer had so little memory I had to constantly defrag it to keep it running correctly. Today I have two now older computers with hard drive docks giving me 10 terabytes on one computer with 64 ram and the secondary video computer with 4 terabytes and sadly maxed out at 16 ram. At this point in computing ram means far more than processor size I think. Hugs
