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.

No inbuilt hard drive, so it really did fucking matter! (Mac Plus and SE) still love some of the games. Try Fools Errand if you can get the emulator to work 😺
