      I have seen the 8" floppys but never used one. I did use and have a fair collection of 5 1/4" for a good number of years. And I cursed the 3 1/2" floppies for their short, yet brutal lifespan. I can remember installing Windows 3.11 and AutoCAD 9 with a stacks of those accursed things. And daily backups for the bookkeeper were constant headache until we got a tape drive.
