He might be on holiday. It is the season for it.
Hey! I've been quoted! I feel like a proper celeb!

No way they could be middle aged coz Flash Back was my era and I'm 19.
Quote: zooo @ July 8 2008, 6:49 PM BSTI remember them being MASSIVE!
But I may just have had smaller hands...
Ah, proper floppy discs then. 
Quote: Aaron @ July 9 2008, 6:25 PM BSTFloppy floppy discs or hard floppy discs?
Um... hard ones I think.
Or, maybe both....
I may, possibly, remember some slightly floppy ones, vaguely.
Oh, my brain hurts.

The big ones were actually floppy. 5.25" methinks they were.
The smaller ones were hard, and 3.5" in size.

You been rolling your mouse through ketchup? I very rarely have to clean my mouse.
Oh I mean floppy then. I think.
They weren't very floppy though.

The BBC Model B was prominent in my household. Though about 20 years out of date, as we're talking about 1991.
