    First thing i thought of, but yeah, most devs today have never held a disk like that.

    Why do i always gets so extreamly nostalgic every time something from the 80s and 90s are posted… I guess everyone is like that, stuff from their childhood remains loved.

    I think also because it was a fresh field, nobody knew IT so it was exciting. It was like a small interest, similar to collecting stamps or something.

      Bruh, what? Younger millennials (aka 30-40 yo) were born/raised in the 90’s. I find your claim hard to believe.

      I’m in that group and I still dealt with floppies as a kid despite my family being poor at the time
