Remember when floppy disks really were floppy?

Has an older person ever started on you with the "I remember when computers only had 64k of RAM" and stuff? You see, the worst part is that the moment they begin reminiscing about the "olden days" of computing, they often figure you're too young to know the difference, so they start making stuff up. Next thing you know - they're trying to sell you on the idea that some models of Apple computers were powered by guinea pigs on treadwheels.

Set them straight after you read the Computer Geek's History of the Internet. It's chock full of computer history as well.
