    Still have an 8" floppy drive in the attic....

      I've got a board with core memory on it.
      Hand-crafted little magnetic cores threaded together with wires.

      Damn, I vowed not to keep getting involved in these sadder-than-you threads.

          I've got loads of those old IBM green cards (and other colours) including such ones as IBM 360 Assembler registers (and the training manual in German,) hexadecimal translation, PROFS users and a load of crap in my office but occasionally something comes in useful
          Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

              I think there's a couple of 8" drives in the shed too...

              I hope they aren't under the leaky bit of the roof.
              I have several English dictionaries too!

              Started to read them, but the plots were all the same

                Last time I played the I'm-sadder-than-you game at work, I played my "I still have my flowchart stencil" card. Everyone else in the room opened their desk drawer and pulled out theirs.
