# 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.

were a fantastic new thing
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.
