LOL @streetstyle, my first PC, (that is now after the Commodore 64, and the likes) was an IBM Personal PC (XT), then . When I studied, I had a 386 with 4 MB of RAM and a 100 MB Hard Drive. IT was amazing to see how many student came to see the "Beast" for the speed.
The funniest thing was that in South Africa we called the 5.25 inch floppies, and when the 3.5 inch was released we called it "stiffies". I lived in the UK for a few years between 1998 and 2004, and the guys laughed their asses off when I called the 3.5 inch ones "stiffies" :)

Do you mean 5.25 inch floppies? I remember those too. Back when floppies really were floppy.
@williambanks lol you're right. I was creating my own frankie baby between the 3.5 and the 5.25
