As soon as I went to high school, a teacher was using an 8 inch in my classes, but when I got access to school's computers I used the 5.25 ones on 286 XTs.

I was born into bitcoin already 🙏🟧

5 1/4 here...

What a time...

5.25. Oregon Trail on an Apple II. Good times!!

I remember 5.25 inch floppy discs in the elementary library computer lab. I have fond memories playing Number Munchers and Oregon Trail.

5.25” on an Apple II+

You don’t use them anymore? 🤓

I held in ha d 5.25, but never used. 3.5 regularly used in past…

My dad worked for IBM and so we had some really early PCs with 5.25 inch floppy disks. This was late 80’s. He has some games that were better looking than Atari games but similar.

3.5 at home, 5.25 at school 😎

5 1/4

5 1/4. I remember they were sold single-sided or double-sided but you could punch a hole to mark the single-sided double-sided which they usually were.

5.25 inch to run Thexder & Lode Runner my father’s Tandy 1000 … atm it was like magic 🪄

My own….sorry you said disk my bad.

Just used them as frisbees.

I think this question is a proxy for doxing for age 😀 But, the Commodore 64 used 5.25 but also it had cassette tapes as well!

5¼" on a Commodore Pet, thought it was so cool after using the cassette tapes for a while.

5.25 and the saving grace was the little device that allowed you to clip the outer plastic and use the other side of the disc, as well. Hacking data space before it was cool.

5.25 with a Commodore 64...step up from the cassette I had

8” used in a double drive. One was used for OS/software and the other for data. No hard drive. Merkur for monitor. Made by JZD Slušovice. Man, I am old.

Held all of them, but actively used only 3.5'' inch. Before that it was using an actual cassette to load Harrier Attack on a ZX Spectrum...

Man I feel old. I also remember the ibm-punchcard!

I used 3.5 floppies, but my friend had 8 inch. He get old computer.

I feel old because I remember this

Not only held, but also used it regularly: 5.25” 360kB capacity with black stickers to make them read-only :-))

Mostly 3.5, installed Indiana Jones on a 286 from a 5.25.

Remember sharing Carmaegeddon on like 27 3.5 zipped.

Still gota case of floppies that likely are all demagentized by now with a bunch of my highschool middle school hwk on em.

Fun times.

Cassettes plus 3. 5 but mostly 5.25 and having to swap them regularly as my data base got bigger and bigger, things that our kids probably don't even know what we are talking about

Na gymnáziu jsme používali 8” pružné disky s osobními počítači IQ151. Byl na nich zaváděč programovacího jazyku Basic…

8" (inch) in my hands, byt I did not realy used it. When i was in first class of my highschool, we have regularly use the 5"1/4, and the 3"1/2 HD with 1,44MB was the sound of future. I was installing the Windowa 3.1 from 3 floppy disks, on my i386 with the 487 co-procesor, and later i have installed the w95 from maybe 5 floppyies...

5.25" with zx spectrum

5.25" on daily basin in school. Later "big" upgrade to 3.5".

But from "held in hands" point of view - it was 8".

3.5” !

In high school we had such a problem with data corruption. I sold access to an ftp server to solve the problem
