I remember buying boxes of 5.25-inch floppy disks in many colors for use in my #Commodore 1541 drive. Eventually I bought two 1581 drives, then I had to stock up on 3.5-inch ones. I never had a 1571. I was pretty proud of my #Commodore64 setup. In 2010, I ended up donating it all to the #UniversityOfMichigan's Computer and Video Game Archive at their library and museum. I go there occasionally to visit it. 😁

At the U. of #Michigan’s recent commencement ceremony, history professor Derek Peterson delivered a 5-minute speech in which he celebrated all those who have fought for justice at the university, my alma mater. Invoking our legendary fight song, he asked the crowd to “sing” for suffragist Sarah Burger, who battled to get #women admitted as students; for Moritz Levi, UM's first #Jewish professor; for all the students who fought for #RacialJustice at #UM as part of the Black Action Movement; and for the “pro-#Palestinian student activists, who have over these past two years opened our hearts to the injustice and inhumanity of #Israel’s war in #Gaza.”
