Interesting article about people using floppy disks today:

https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20240510-floppy-disks-why-some-people-are-still-in-love-with-this-obsolete-computer-storage-technology

Growing up, I used 5¼ and then 3½ floppies to store everything. They were ubiquitous. 💾💾💾

@freedosproject they make a mistake in metricizing the size of 3.5" disks: they were already metric! 5.25" and 8" were made by American companies, but 3.5" disks are by Sony, so they were designed in metric. They're 90mm disks.
