I had a box full of those when they became obsolete.

What does a floppy disk look like?

Showed my age there I reckon.

I thought the floppy disk were the 5 1/4" soft sided disk.

If I remember rightly there were 3 1/2" and 5 1/4".

They are, but that is what the image he should be looking for looks like, and I didn't want to confuse the issue worse, lol.

You are correct.
They changed with time, but were still called the same.
At least in my book.
I'm not enough of a nerd to know better.

I was just pulling your leg. I took my first computer class in 84, learning Basic, then progressed from there.

FIFY

 

[TxStetson]

True.

My floppy experience started out at a full 8". None of this 5 1/4 & 3 1/2 inch nonsense.

How's that DOS working for you today?

 

[TxStetson]

You’d be surprised. I’m one of those guys that’s comfortable working in the command prompt.

Y'all having fun?

That's not what she said.

 

[Coiled]

There is. Just hit reply on each of the posts you want to quote.

It does, however if you quote then change pages before the draft is saved you will lose it. BUT if you go up to the little floppy disk icon up above there is an option to "save draft" and that will keep any multi quotes from several different pages.

Cool, thanks guys, I'll find a reason to try it out.

This guy's trying to get quoted.

I was still maintaining an active IDRS Controller (part of an X25 network) that worked off a single 8" floppy in 1995.

It's tough to completely kill off any functional, reliable physical media.

Not an error, but not worthy of a new thread either.......

I was wondering has the "hover over" thread preview feature always been there or was that something recently added? I just noticed it.

Pretty sure it's always been here. If you are logged in that is.
