USB drives are amazing. They are really big and fit any modern computer. No manufacturer saw them coming. They just sorta....happened.

I still use floppies occassionally. Mostly for when I need to reformat my computer. Since I have a SATA drive, and since windows XP doesn't have drivers for SATA drives out of the box, I need to load the drivers during the CD boot-up otherwise windows will tell me that I don't have a HDD.

In my middle school computer class we have some old Macs that were like rectangles with a 5 inch screen in black and white :lol: They were about 1 foot high and 7 inches wide.

The last time I used a floppy disk was five years ago. The school computers back then had slots for them, and so did my PC. All my old work is still saved on floppy disks but I can't get it off. :P

As would I, those were prehistoric. As for the 3 1/2 inch ones, haven't used one for nigh on 5 - 6 years. After that it became CDs, then USB drives.
