I knew a few of our seasoned forum members would like that. I found them in my dad's computer service briefcase.

I actually used floppy discs in school quite regularly until I was in the 2nd grade and we bought 128mb flash drives. All the cool kids had flash drives.

Of course floppy discs were considered to be the future at one point as well (they even used memory stored on cartridges in the original Star Trek series), my dad tells me of working with computers when he was a professor. One of the ones he used was the same model that NASA used for calculations and flight control for the Apollo missions. He showed me some of the programs he had to make, all of course on punched tape. Fascinating to see how far we have come, especially when a simple, handheld, scientific calculator has more processing power than the computer used in Apollo 11.
