Oh, I don't need no cable to know I'm old. I remember the mainframes with their magnetic tapes and the old, really big, floppy disks. What was it? 8"?

Heh. Good times.

EDIT: Oh, and sorry for engaging. I'm sure we don't need a nostalgia thread.

Ha! There's an additional category of people who have seen it, recognize it, but are too old to remember what it was for! Ha ha ha.
