Life before computers..

[Admiral Huddy]

Memory was something you lost with age..

An application was for employment.

A programme was a show on TV.

A cursor was someone who swore a lot.

A Keybaord was a Piano.

The web was a spiders' home

A virus was the flu.

A hard drive was a trip down the road.

A mouse pad was were a mouse lived

and if you had a 3" floppy you just kept quiet about it and hoped nobody found out.

 

[naknakkus]

I can see a thread
"Help! My 5" floppy shrunk to a 3"!"

The response:
"RMA it."

Yep they did exist. They were normally for mid range systems and held in magazines of ten. I remember using them with the IBM System/34.
