I used to require 7 of those 5.25 inch black floppies just to
install Ultima 7 The Black Gate on MS Dos...
bring back fond memories...
When you think about it, there has been no true successor to the
3.5-inch floppy.
Zip disks were promising, but Zip drives were expensive, and
Iomega held on tightly to its patent instead of licensing it out to
other companies.....
CD-RWs were next, but you needed separate CD-burning software
for them......
Thumbdrives are now the most common, but they're just too
expensive to be passed from hand to hand.....
