[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 12 points 2 years ago (2 children) My first copy of Win95 was on floppy, 13 if memory serves me. My first computer only had two 5 1/2” floppy drives. Everything required a swap. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 child) I wonder if that's what my parents mean when they say they used to be into couples swapping. Just a couple of floppies. Swapping around. Swinging those floppies. Just a couple of swingers. Swinging and swapping floppies...... .........and then sleeping with each others wives. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] AtariDump@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago permalink fedilink source parent [–] i_stole_ur_taco@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) My friend’s came on 24 floppies. Maybe you had double density disks or whatever those higher capacity ones were called. I remember reading this joke press release about how Microsoft was renaming itself to Moft. Their name appears so much in Windows that the shortened name would let them use one less floppy disk and it would save them so much money. After feeding 24 floppies into a new computer one time I completely believed the joke and embarrassed myself by telling other people the big rename was coming. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 1 point 2 years ago Mine may have come with more than 13, but it was for sure not 24. So it is likely I had high density, or double. In true windows fashion, I never purchased these, my roommate’s friend left them in my dorm room and I never saw him again. permalink fedilink source parent
