Well, I knew this day would arrive.
I send some of my auction software programs on floppy disk. I got this email from a customer:
"What is this you sent me? Is it for one of those 'little' computers? [??] I was expecting a CD."
Suddenly I feel so old....

Maybe you could have it burned on those little business card size CDs twin. That would be neat.

Nah, that's not old. Sending it on a 5-1/4" floppy is old!

Why don't you ask them if they have any clue at all what "A" drive is?

I guess I'm OLD. I can remember programming on punch cards, and magnetic tape.
tomwiii, want to get rid of the UNIVAC? I'll rent a BIG U-Haul, and you can turn your basement into a family room

Old? Naw, just tell them its a retro look. That should be worth twice the price.
