Jeff AtwoodI don't know if I am hallucinating this, or what, but I distinctly remember Microsoft doing two releases of old movie sound samples on sets of 3.5" floppies in the early 90s? 🤔 I can't find any reference to it on the intarwebs. I'm confident it pre-dates CD-ROMs.
Mike Noe@codinghorror pre-dating CD-ROMS would put you in the very early 90’s. IIRC Windows NT 3.1 and Windows 95 both had a CD-ROM option (although I installed both many times from floppies).
