# I remember 5.25 inch discs
they were like 3.5 inch disks but were actually floppy and made more satisfying frisbees.

# Yeah, I got confused by thinking the 3.5 was a Hard Disk
and the 5.25 was a floppy.

I still remember 5.25 drives where they had the lever to close the drive and lock the disk in place.

I've still got Commander Keen on some 5.25s somewhere.

# i remember when 5.25 in discs

and you didn't need to wait for the tape to load

# But my Dad made me all paranoid by telling me
that the disk would break forever if I even slightly touched the actual disk part through the hole.

pinned to the side of a metal filing cabinet with a magnet?
