Gregory's Server@LizardSF @hu_logic @dyslexxicon @rodhilton I do miss having an entire software application fit into a single 3.5” floppy. Simple days. And not-so-simple days: I also remember software getting “so” big you needed to swap half a dozen of those in and out to install a single software app. #FloppyDisk
@jnskm @hu_logic @dyslexxicon @rodhilton The original Mac OS had the OS, the Finder, MacPaint, and MacWrite on a 400K floppy and running in 128K or RAM. Bill Atkinson was a genius. (Having a lot of the GUI in ROM also helped; it's why the Mac was much slicker to use, relative to hardware speed, than equivalent x86 systems running GUIs until probably the late 90s.)
