Dang. I’m a little younger than you. We had floppy disks when I was in year 1 & 2, but I remember having a Powerpoint project where some of the kids’ Powerpoint files were too big to fit on a floppy.

University was a horror of finding out your assignment was too big to save on the floppy you had picked, and going through your whole stash trying to find one it would fit on, or having to delete some file share game before you lost the whole thing.

Dayum, you were using floppies to hold multiple different unrelated files? Like a USB today?

Yes? Had to get them to campus to print and drop in the department office box to get stamped by 5pm or points off.

Damn, that’s just wild to me. As I said above, I came in near the end of their era, so just storing one project on there was at times stretching the limits of what they could do. It’s kind of incredible to think of how far we’ve come.
