Rest In Peace, Oh Floppy One
And to think that I started my computer career with punch cards and cassette tape drives. I remember when the floppy was new technology.
Still, he hung on valiantly. PC World has declared the floppy dead.

I never used a punch card, but I did save programs to cassette with my TI/99 and used a ton of floppies.
Funny thing... Macs have been without floppy drives for years longer than the PCs still hanging on to the past.

I remember our first home computer in 1986, an 8088 Leading Edge Model D. 4.77MHz, CGA monitor, and a state-of-the-art 20MB hard drive. You know what else we bought for it?
...a three-button mouse...:)
