        A 360K floppy should be big enough for any app and it's data!

          Check out the Q&A from the last week or so. There is someone in there doing development in MS-DOS and can't seem to be able to find various pieces of software that will work with it. Apparently he found a functional floppy disk drive though.

                      I'm old enough to remember seeing the original "[Lee Iacocca](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee\_Iacocca) is an autoexec" being used in signatures. (for a timeframe reference, he retired in 1992).

                          Double fun for me since (1) I'm old enough to get the joke and (2) my house is old, so we get bats inside(*) late every summer. (*) They sneak in via our screened-in porch. I get to catch them and release them outside, usually at 2:00 a.m. after being woke up by SWMBO.

                                      Double fun for me since (1) I'm old enough to get the joke and (2) my house is old, so we get bats inside(*) late every summer. (*) They sneak in via our screened-in porch. I get to catch them and release them outside, usually at 2:00 a.m. after being woke up by SWMBO.

                                      Cool - I love bats. But at 2 am I guess you have other plans... :laugh:

                                        Huh! Nothing! Back in my days, we used 8" floppy disks! AND we had cold gravel for dinner! :laugh:

                                        in 83 I had a cpm system running at 4Mhz with an 8" floppy, But also a 10 MEGA BYTE external hard drive, with removable platters. Luxury. The rest of the system was crap. Filled up my car if I took it home to work. Ah. The good old days. ASM all the way.
