Hello! Very much looking forward to starting a new chapter here. Browsing through an old box in the garage just now, I found these, and for some reason I thought it would make an appropriate first post. My 1990's computing history.

Haha! In September I moved house and threw out hundreds of those, along with dozens of Zip discs (remember those?). I can still remember being amazed at how much information they’d hold, though (compared with a single book, for example).

@sfh300 I've still got a load of those as well. I don't want to throw them out - I want to read them in :-)

Oh, I transferred the stuff I wanted to keep on to hard drives years ago, I just seemed to hang on to the more individual-seeming floppies and Zips. Probably a bit like hanging on to actual books even though you’ve bought the Kindle version. In any case, I’m sure your discs hold more information worth hanging on to than mine ever did. 👍
