9. That's cool
:)

I still have some Zip disks, and had to have a drive installed in this computer years ago because I was converting everything over.

I wish I still had the 8" floppies I had to use on the first CAD system I ever used. That was one weird computer system, too, but not as weird as the photo-typesetter machine where we used 12" floppies. I know the largest size is "supposed" to be 8", but I know they were at least 10" on that machine. They also had to keep it cool, so that meant working in a room kept at under 62F. I hated that part, but the work was fun :)

Here's the first CAD system my community college taught, and it's obscure enough that there's hardly any info on it online:

Bausch & Lomb CAD
