I would like to note that in my family (both parents in the computer tech industry) we never referred to the 3-1/2" disks as floppy disks. Because the 5-1/4" were actually floppy, you see, while the smaller ones did not flop, they were stiff. We called them "crunchy" disks to differentiate.
Yes, seriously. |
