I still use a floppy disk at work to transfer data from older equipment to a computer. Two of my engineers had never seen one before I had shown them how to transfer the data during training.

I get my nostalgia fix from hearing the degauss noise.

I remember hiking onto my college campus with a box of floppies to download an early distribution of Slackware Linux to install to my personal PC. The prospect of downloading an entire operating system directly to my home would've been a grandiose fantasy.

Can't remember where I saw this, but someone was told "Oh wow you 3d printed the save icon?" which I thought was funny.
