626. anticdoteTo: sam@rinkworks.com Subject: Computer anticdote Date: Tue, 19 Oct 2010 21:25:00 -0700 (PDT) My mother was telling me how her computer teacher always called 5 1/4 in. floppy a floppy disk, and a 3 1/2 in. floppy a hard disk. She was surprised when I told her than 3 1/2 in. are also floppy disks. Nothing wrong with this good (though common) submission to Computer Stupidities. But I love that typo in the subject line. |
