Hey!!
That is an interesting slide show...!
Good finding!

Wow! You've seen the BBC Micros? Gosh! I've seen a few audio cassettes being used for data storage, even a few punch cards(!). It's good to meet a person who shares some experience with me about old age computers.

Who, in today's world, would believe that people used to enjoy working on computers like the 80386? I used to immensely enjoy it. In fact, I used to play games on it back then!

I think we have been lucky to witness the phenomenon that has been computer technology and its rapid, exponential growth. I dont think that anyone else in the near future would be fortunate to experience something of this kind, because the technology is saturating.

And, yes, I have seen floppies of all sizes being used (both the 3.25 inch and the 8 inch ones). I used to hate the 8 inch floppies because of their delicate nature.

I have been lucky enough to have seen and experienced a lot of media storage devices, like the floppy, the CD and the DVD. The only thing I missed was the USB port, which caught me by surprise due to its extreme functionality.
