Anyone else here old enough to remember when computers used these? My Grandpa had an old computer that used them, and honestly I feel quite privileged to have seen them being used natively IRL

>Thinking you're "old" or special for having handled a floppy disk
I'm in my early 20s and I remember using these things non-ironically.

I'm old enough to remember stuff used to be stored on audio cassettes, which was cheaper in the day than floppy disks.

Floppies were still relatively common until the early 2000s, you literal zoomer

Had an Amiga 1200 back in the 90s and by the time I finally sold it to build a PC, I'd amassed a collection of thousands of floppies. Pirated games, pirated software, demo disks and music disks. All bought from the Sunday market.
If you still work in an industrial environment with expensive machinary, a lot of machines still use floppies for machine instructions (things like mills and lathes).
Personally, I haven't used a floppy since the early 2000s.

Hi Not Ken, I'm Dad. :-)

I literally ran around with floppies in my backpack, taking the longer route on the bus because the trams fucked up the disks. Also some older industrial tech still uses floppies and being one who can do anything with them is very lucrative these days.
Carson Ross
I used them in the 90s because I'm not a zoomer.
I last used them in like 2010 because many older, but perfect usable oscilloscopes/spectrum analyzers take them for snapshots and sample recording. Equipment with network and USB connectivity are pretty common now though.
Asher Gray
Yep. Those. Did you have the little notched so you could write to back? I had to cut mine with scissors.
Liam Watson
I used them myself, I was so happy when I got a CD burner and a stack of CDs to replace this shit

I'm 18 and used floppies from first to fourth grade at school because they had some older PCs, and still use them today on my dad's office where they keep a bunch of cool legacy hardware.
