Remember the time when people had to buy CDs to install software - wait - let's go further than that - freaking floppy disks.

I would install it for my dad and if one floppy gets a CRC error... I would eject the floppy, blow the dust off, pray some mumbo jumbo, insert it back again, until ... it worked.

3'5 and 5'25 floppy. I should still have a reader for the 5'25 I took from my ibm xt286 before selling the rest
