200 gigabytes! Anyone else remember 5.25 inch floppy disks with a massive 160kb per side?

Its crazy to think that the little micro SD card holds the equivalent of 625,000 of those 5.25" floppy disks. Laid end-to-end that's over 50 miles of disks--that's further than Washington D.C. to Baltimore

    And the access speed for those floppies was like walking from DC to Baltimore ;)

    Guess I was lucky, I started with 1.2Mbyte 8 inch floppy. Then came the 5.25 inch floppy.

    I live in Baltimore and that's not a short drive. Wow. No pun intended.
