What's a floppy drive?
It's what we used to save files on when our computers were still
steam-driven.
Back then I had several programs on one floppy disk, and one floppy was
good for a month's worth of documents. Now I get emails with attached
documents > 10MiB every day.
There is a book on my shelf that I wrote in the decade before this one,
using emacs, LaTeX, dvivga, and an ePS capable drawing program. I still
have the entire source for the book on a floppy in my desk drawer. The
floppy has over a MB of free space.
And it was written on a 386 with 8MB of RAM and a 40MB hard disk....
