minus-squaregrue@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·14 days ago CDs are sometimes still the only way to put an OS on old gear. Spoken like a person who doesn’t own a floppy drive. 😞 Tap for spoiler I’m just making a silly joke, of course, but I think there’s enough temporal overlap between floppy drives and USB ports that it’s accurate.

minus-squareAngryCommieKender@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-214 days agoThe first computer I ever used was a Macintosh 128k. It didn’t have an OS. The OS was on a floppy that you had to have in to start the system. My dad bought two external floppy drives so that he could run more complex programs on the thing.
