Pal asks: are you sure you don't mean 8" floppies? I did see 'em a few times when I was a wee laddie (my own first computer had 5.25"ers). I've never seen or heard of a 10" floppy tho. Attached is a wiki pic of 8", 5.25" and 3.5" floppies from the article here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_floppy_disk
you must be right. Like I said, I never used one. :D

I understand that the US Military still uses a lot of that old computer stuff like floppies.

Because who the heck is writing viruses for Windows 98? Or trying to hack a VAX system?

Mod edit: there's tons of Win98 systems still in use, both privately and (more worryingly) commercially: point-of-sale systems, automated teller machines, and Glob knows what else. In terms of smaller/standalone computers and computer-based kiosk systems, I'd not be surprised if Win98 were in the top 3 share-wise. JMHO. -Pal

Gently I stir a white feather fan,
With open shirt sitting in a green wood.
I take off my cap and hang it on a jutting stone;
A wind from the pine-tree trickles on my bare head.

Was walking and doing the rounds in the casino and saw a woman wearing a shirt that said " 40 simply means you get better " and I realized I had graduated from High School 40 years ago. So, am I at 57 much, much better ?  ;D

I was called up for jury duty this week. I was selected and got all the way to the judgment phase before finding out I was pre-selected as an alternate juror. Decided to stay for the verdict since I already spent so much time with the case and one of the prosecutors was a hot blonde. I was talking to the police and prosecutors while waiting for the jury to return its verdict and learned that the blonde hottie and I shared a birthday. She was born on my 18th birthday. :o
