I had my Tools disk and my MSDOS gaming boot disk, tweaked and tuned to perfection.

Little me didn't know that was the gateway drug to coding.
Surprised you were still using a floppy disk in 2006-2007! You have decent odds, that’s pretty young for one.
replyNot sure why my parents chose to put a floppy disk driver on a desktop computer bought in 2006 (perhaps some seller was very convincing?), but I thought it was cool, so I used it sometimes. It was also cheaper than USB-sticks -and less likely to lose
reply2006 is close enough to 1998 that floppies would still be around in business settings, or for other specialized devices like embroidery machines.
replyI think I stopped adding floppies around that time.
