1980s - This thing can store entire programs !!

2017 - This thing can't even store my git ignore !

(Still remember when my dad used to bring games for me in these floppy disks from his office and my pc had a floppy reader XD)

that moment when you realise you can archive and split large size files to fit multiple floppies

Your .gitignore is bigger than 1.44 mb?

Sorry I know that wasn't the point ;)

Reminds me of the time I split a RAR archive (yes, I was still using this format back then, don't judge me :) into about 100 split archives to transfer something over from my fathers PC.

We didn't even have a home network back then, or USB sticks because they were expensive as fuck, so this was the only option.

@rusty-hacker
Its a joke XD

I still have a usb floppy disk drive, I probably could still use it to backup files but as far as I see it they are too big to store too little

The size wasn't the main issue. Those crappy things were so unreliable that you never knew what happened when you put one in...

I was a kid..
I really wanted to play GTA London and a friend from school had it.
It weighted 100mb..
I split it into 100 parts and transfered the game using 10 diskettes each time.
The walk from my place to his was over a hour in each direction.
I could visit him only once a day.
Took me a week to transfer everything.
GTA was good.
