/me weeps as he remembers the day he threw out his 5,24" floppies which
had stuff like Fireteam 2200.
Then there was the day a Year 6 teacher sent two of his pupils to get
some 5.25" floppies (HUH?!? What age do we live in? I don't run a
museum-though I wish I did) for their computer history project only to
be disappointed.
Let's demand support for the 1.2MiB floppies too! AND the LS120. AND the
ZIP disk.
