minus-squarevirku@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·10 months agoThe 5.25 inch floppy disk were actually very bendy (floppy), while the 3.5 inch one was rigid, so I guess that’s why OP named it that?
minus-squareradix@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·10 months agoI worked at a university computer lab in the late 90s, and soooo many people referred to the 3.5"ers as “hard disks.”
minus-squarevirku@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·10 months agoThat one hurt! I don’t know if it is because it was so wrong, or if it is because it was kind of logical.
minus-squareagent_flounder@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·10 months agoYeah. Everyone I knew always called them floppies whether they were 8" (mostly before my time), 5¼" or 3.5". Op was probably just adding for humor or something.
