reesetee Ouch. Those things hurt. And they always seemed to have been made of some carcinogenic material. Oct 10, 2007
uselessness Yes! That was the floppiest part! I also had a bad habit of bouncing mouse trackballs around the house. Oct 10, 2007
trivet Did you ever take the little disc out of the floppy and play with it? That was fun, but oh-so-against the rules... Oct 9, 2007
reesetee Right! They had a latch to keep them from escaping! Ah, the memories.... Oct 9, 2007
uselessness I had more fun playing with the little latch on the floppy drive door, than the floppy itself. Later I would take a liking to spinning CDs around my index finger. Oct 9, 2007
reesetee Oh yeah, they were floppy. And if you flopped them too much, they retaliated by not ever working again. Oct 9, 2007
trivet They totally flopped!
More of a flap, really. I remember twiddling with them a lot. Oct 9, 2007
seanahan In the future, there will be a web site for doing every possible exact task.
Oh wait... Oct 9, 2007
jennarenn Floppies!!! Did the 5" ones actually flop? I don't quite remember.... Oct 9, 2007
reesetee What?? Handwriting? How quaint. Oct 8, 2007
oroboros I had to transfer all mine off of an actual notepad! :o) Oct 8, 2007
reesetee Love it. A pre-Wordie Wordie list. Makes you want to go back and dig through that old pile of floppies....
No, not really. Oct 8, 2007
uselessness The "date modified" on the file was February 2005. I wish I remembered the origins of this list, all I know for sure is that I compiled myself it for fun back in college. Who knew there would one day be a web site for doing exactly that (only better)? Oct 8, 2007
