The Old Fashioned Floppy Disks|远古时代的软盘

in #esteem6 years ago

Hi to all Steemians,

I still remembered it clearly, when I first get involved with computer and internet - it was year 2000 (yeah, the Y2K thingy that scared the shit out of many people!)

During that moment, if we want to save any important stuffs, such as Microsoft documents - the almighty "Floppy disk" would be your best pal!

Floppy disk aka disk or diskette (whatever you want to call it) is a basic disk storage. It being manufactured with a disk of thin yet flexible magnetic storage, which is fully sealed in a rectangular plastic case or enclosure.

The main function of floppy disks are mainly for read and written, by using floppy disk drive aka FDD.

Fun facts about floppy disks - it started with a huge 8 inch, then 5.25 inch and became even smaller with only 3.5 inch!

When I was in college, I mostly used floppy disks for saving all my homeworks, exam papers and projects (also some games that required less than 1.44 mb)

After 2008, floppy disks and floppy disk drives are officially became part of the computer's arena history.

I was wondering, anyone here used floppy disks before?

致所有亲爱的斯丁密伙伴,

当我第一次接触电脑和互联网时,我仍然清楚地记得 - 那是2000年初(是的,Y2K这无稽之谈的东西把许多人都吓到屁滚尿流!)

那个时候,如果我们想要储存任何重要的东西,比如微软文件 - 全能的“软盘”将是你最佳拍档!

软盘即磁碟或软碟片(看到这个‘软’字,让我无意中想起新手村那可爱的软哥)都是一个基本的磁盘存储。它采用薄而柔韧的磁存储盘制造,完全密封在矩形塑料外壳中。

软盘的主要功能是通过使用软盘驱动器,即FDD进行读写。

有关软盘的有趣事实 - 它从最初的8英寸,变成5.25英寸,最后缩小为3.5英寸!

当我就读学院时,我多数使用软盘来保存我的所有课业,模拟试卷和科系项目(还有一些需要不到1.44 mb的小游戏)

2008年之后,软盘和软盘驱动器正式成为电脑领域历史的一部分。

我想知道,这里有谁,在以前曾经使用过软盘?
