O, sorry, I'm at work, i only saw the harder more "mordern" floppy picture if you have an old-school picture up there as well. Damn filters that only half-work!

What did those old floppies hold? Like 32kb of info aka one reasonably long college paper?

sometimes on newer systems if you rub them up against your computer really hard, the data transmits wirelessly
