    Back in the summer of 1982 I started programming in Turbo Pascal for a project. I used an IBM PC with two 360K, 5.25″ disk drives. I was in heaven as I could have my compiler disk AND my data disk in the computer at the same time!

    Going from cassette tapes to 170K floppy disks in 1983 felt like science fiction.
