Your exactly right Ruben. It's the dumbing down phase I guess, LOL.

I remember having the looseleaf DOS 2.0 books. I suppose I should have kept them. They may be collectors' items some day. I also had Lotus 1-2-3, Wordperfect, etc.

Oh that brings back bad memories of building computers in the back room of a small shop before "Ghost" We would setup 10-15 of them and just wander back and forth changing discs frown

My first job after college was with BASF. We made 5.25" and 8" "FlexyDisks." How many of us have used 8" disks? I can remember struggling to hand assemble the new 3.5" disks so we could display them at the CES show.

We also developed 3.25" disks with a drive manufacturer, but that obviously didn't work out!

Many of us had uncoated 16" aluminum rigid disks on our walls as mirrors.

I have windows for workgroups 3.11 on floppies. It was lightning fast compared to 3.1, I forget why right now, but combine that 8MB of ram and your computer flew!

I probably have 3.1 on floppies too, I kept those thinking I would need them again for some reason smile
