The ol’ days.

Not the “good ol’” days. Just the ol’ days.

Kids: you’re looking at a “floppy disk.” Back in the day, we could store an entire 1/5th of a single song on these. We had “record players” that could load up 30-50 floppies at a time so you could play an entire album!

But that was only after you downloaded the right “codec” compatible with the album. And only after you got through one half of the album, then pulled out every floppy, flipped them over to the “b-side,” and put them all back in to finish.

Good times. No, wait.

Times. Just… times.   High-res
