@jerry yikes. Maybe ease off on the images folks. Or host them elsewhere and just link?
Reminds me of usenet feeds that had to delete after 3 days because of space issues.

@guamwatt @jerry back in the mid nineties, the company I worked for subscribed to a Usenet archive service. Every month, they sent you all the posts on all news groups on CD-ROM. A very visceral way to visualize exponential growth! They didn't survive! 😂

@tacertain @guamwatt @jerry Now that I think about it, I don't even have a friggen CD or DVD player anymore. Maybe they are in the closet with the 8tracks and zipdisks. #we'reold

@danaepp obtained a usb 3.5 floppy drive. Muh ha ha ha.

However, I need an ibm sys 34 mainframe and 8in floppy drive to recover my COBOL code. 😉

@guamwatt @danaepp I've got an 8″ floppy on my wall, but I only saw an 8″ drive in a museum (the first computer we had at home did have a 5.25″ drive). No idea where that floppy is from, it used to have a sticker, but it fell off years ago.

@jernej__s @guamwatt Well, at least it isn’t the equal amount of punchcards… (would be interesting wallpaper though)
