>>I had some of those so called "movers and shakers" tell me that there was no such thing as an 8" floppy. I do not argue with ignorance. If someone knows it all then that is fine with me. :)

I wrote an app for Marshal's business in WangBasic back in '78. The machine came with 2 8" floppy drives and we quickly added a third. I remember the amazing realization that we could swap the disks in and out during the app to increase storage capacity.

That app was in use until about 5 years ago.
