@Mr_NutterButter
You're one of those miracle babies that never used a floppy or has never had to untangle cassette tape.
@alyx @Mr_NutterButter im pretty young and i remember using a casette 🤔
@alyx @Mr_NutterButter i actually got gifted a set of floppies, containing borland C, recently
@Mr_NutterButter @alyx full size 7in ones
@kallisti @Mr_NutterButter
Those I never got to use. I saw them here and there, but I only used 3.5 floppies.
@alyx @Mr_NutterButter yea, ive no PC or drive for it
@kallisti @Mr_NutterButter
I've seen USB floppy drive units before, but only 3.5 ones.
@alyx @Mr_NutterButter i've seen something the other way round - usb to floppy adapter
@kallisti @Mr_NutterButter
I think I remember seeing something similar... I remember a demonstration where someone put multiple floppy disc images on a flash storage, and he could change the image the computer saw at the push of a physical button.
@alyx @Mr_NutterButter yea! i have one of those for my atari st
@kallisti @Mr_NutterButter
I think it depends a bit on where you were born too. Technically the cassette was already obsolete in the 90s, but I saw use up to the mid 2000s.
