How many floppy discs would you need for Flight Sim X install? It's two 4GB DVD's.

also is wikipedia correct, I'm positive 5.25" SD was 180K

start talking punchcards and you've got something interesting to figure about.

If you mean punchtape, we had one of those.

I take it each hole represents one bit?

Man, punchcards were the bane of my existence. When working at Michelin years ago I accidentally knocked two stacks of punchcards off the side of my desk and scattered then across the floor. To make things even worse, some of the floor tiles were up as the cabling was being worked on so we lost numerous cards down there.
