I visited my childhood home which is now falling in. I probably shouldn’t have gone in there but I’m glad I did.
On the side where the roof hasn’t yet collapsed I looked into the downstairs closet by my last bedroom and the only item sitting in there, pinched between the wood of the floor and the wall, was a single floppy from the Windows 3.1 set.
I didn’t sleep for a week because of the state that place is in. :(
I was there when I upgraded from nothing (I.e. having to retype a software every time) to tape recorder. No other media change after that felt ever so good.
Nah floppy was the earliest days storage that I legit interacted with in my life. I have held a datasette and older stuff but they were not still being used. Just stuff found in storage and the like.

Kid, I have windows 3.1 on goddamn floppies.

Were you also there when the floppy replaced the datasette? 😊
