Wow I'm old



For a lot of reasons I don't need to get into, I'm feeling pretty old this week.

But this post on Kevin Clark's Blog about Elephant disks brings back a ton of memories. (Pardon the pun) that make me feel both young and old again. Most people probably don't remember the day when you could walk into your local, college-town bookstore (Books, Strings, and Things, BST, in my case) and buy a single, 5.25", single-sided, double-density diskette. And, that was enough for your entire Fortran class for the quarter.

I thought the Elephant art on the cover was tres cool, and I my roommate, Tart, and I used to say to each other, "It's quite a pachaderm."
