The OS floppies you kept in your OS box....then you went to your APPS box and proceeded to get the 8-10 floppies so you could load LOTUS 1-2-3......or Word.........it usually took about 15 minutes to get your computer so you could use it......kinda like Vista today

Thank fucking god I was born in 88... the only thing i had to struggle through was dial up...

My first college programming class was on a Commodore Super Pet, with 180K FDDs. We'd buy the double-sided IBM disks, cut another notch in them, and flip them over to use both sides.
