    It’s worse than that: going from 5 1/4” soft to 3.5” when hard.

    This is pretty close to the first removable storage computer I worked with... IIRC, the 12-inch drives were 256K... maybe 512K...

    Similar looking system but I don't see the specs in the story: https://www.sensitiveresearch.com/Ar...4/pitchas.html

    OK, since I'm at least as bad about gab and grabassery in the meme thread as anyone, allow me to make amends:
