Floppy discFloppy Disk Becoming Relic of the Past:

Long the most common way to store letters, homework and other computer files, the floppy disk is going the way of the horse upon the arrival of the car: it’ll hang around but never hold the same relevance in everyday life.

I still have 5.25 floppy (really floppy) discs around with Quarterdeck’s DESQview and QEMM; Turbo Pascal 5.0; PC Magazine’s Utilities I received with a subscription; and lots of other DOS classics. I miss DOS.
