When I started working in IT (1981) we used 8" floppies which I understood were first invented by IBM in the 1960s and became commercially available in the early 1970s.
I thought that 8" floppies were the biggest avaiable and I haven't heard of 10" floppies 🤔
@TCMuffin@PynkEmber@PaulNickson i probably didn't measure them, they were the only size then .. LOL, so 8 inches then.. sheesh, you know guys exaggerate? 😂
@TCMuffin@PaulNickson there's a song by a reggae singer,
"It's not the size of ship, but it's the motion of the ocean "
And then he sings, "I've found when a man tells you dat, you know that his ship is small" LOL
@Robotron@msquebanh my RV Camper has a cassette deck (it's 30 years old), and I just spent years throwing away Cassettes and vinyl (DJ space), so I had to put an adapter in to play my phone through it

And after 15-20 minutes of ‘information highway surfing’ you could actually reach the very end of the internet. Which, I believe, was somewhere around here: http://endoftheinternet.com/
