Gawd I hated those things. We had Kid Pix and Sim City on them. Stupid floppy coming in a little sheet of white paper.

THAT'S NOT A COVER!

Seriously... this was mostly a joke, I didn't figure you young peeps would have even seen these...

I used them mainly on my Commodore 64 WAY back in the day... like 1984.

Yes, mine looked just like this, except I hooked it to an old TV instead of a monitor.

We used 3.5" floppies at work until probably 1998 when we installed our first LAN and started copying backups across the network.... after that we only used them for boot stuff until they essentially became obsolete in the early 2000's.
