How aged are you folks? I'm from 1966 and when I started with > computers, I already used 5 ΒΌ floppy disks. I'm from 59, I used punched cards and paper tape on an IBM-1130 for my start in computing, then went on to teletypes and a DG Eclipse before encountering one of the first TRS-80s in the UK (I said "Nice keyboard where's the computer"). Then I went to college and met an IBM-370. I didn't meet floppies until after college when I worked on the Torch - if anyone remembers it CPN was my idea and Dave Oliver made it good. -- Steve O'Hara-Smith <steve@sohara.org>
