跟软盘说再见 - Farewell To the Floppy Disk

今天在Slashdot上看到这么一则引用：

s31523 writes "Those of us who have been in the IT arena for a while remember installing our favorite OS, network client, power application, etc. by feeding the computer what seemed an endless supply of 5.25" soft floppy disks. We rejoiced when the hard 3.5" floppies came out, cutting our install media by 1/3. We practically did backflips when the data CD-ROM arrived and we declared: we will never need any other disk than this! It is with sadness that I report the beginning of the end for the floppy: computer giant PC World has announced it will no longer carry the floppy disk once current supplies run out."

回想起当年用一摞五寸/三寸盘拷一个游戏或者软件的经历，还真是伤感啊
