I have a box of them and I cut them open at the top and use them to store CD's (if I don't have "proper" CD sleeves available).

When I started my IT carreer, I was using 8" floppy disks on our mainframe.

%^k was the shit back in the day..... back when older folk thought the "internet" was what you called the lining in your swim trunks

oh the good old days of BBS and telnet I aged just typing that

I still rock the MUD's on telnet every once and a while. Sure the clients are easier but telnet just brings back that nostalgia.

My first computer had a turbo button too. Supposedly sped things up from something like 12 MHz to 16 MHz. It had a huge 40mb hdd for it's time too. Cant imagine how my sister and I managed to use it for so many years with just 40mb's. lol

Because that's HUGE. You'd never need 40mb of space, man.

You are probably part of the few who really flipped when the first 1Go Ipod came like : "what the F%?K am I going TO DO with all that space for MUSIC?"

Nah, I was probably already running at least 2-4GB on my PDA and was on my 5th computer build when those iPods came out. I remember buying my first 1GB CF card when I was visiting family in California. Paid an insane amount for it. The current 32GB cards are cheaper than what I paid but no one I knew at home had access to or seen them yet. My first 2GB SD card cost me about the same.
