Having just spent half an hour with tweezers getting a 3.5er out of a drive in pieces, I only wish they were MORE obsolete!

I’m still cranky that 3.5 inch disks are called “floppies”. Their predecessors were actually, you know, floppy.

Hilaria: I know, right? Back in *our* day, a floppy was a viable storage device for the only copy of your dissertation!
