hk blues Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 6 hours ago, TxRover said: No. By the time the first general use GUI’s came into use, roughly mid-1980’s, the 3.5” floppy standard had just been adopted and it was thus used for the first GUI save icon. The 5.25” was already on its way out, much like the 8” had all but disappeared by 1982. The reason was size for the 8” disk and capacity for the 5.25” disc. The 5.25” maxed at about 360KB, while the 8” could hold up to 1.2MB, but was too wide for the average desktop case. The 3.25” started with 360KB, quickly jumped to 720KB, and finally topped out at 1.44MB. Also, the advantage of a hard case versus the actually floppy floppy was a winner. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Wilson Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 7 hours ago, Zetterlund said: The other day the Mrs' 87 year old gran said someone "has ants in his pants". Do people still use this? It was pretty common when I was growing up but maybe been 25 years since I heard it. It means somebody called Anthony is interfering with the person concerned now. 7 hours ago, alta-pete said: *phone rings* Yer maw: ”Bridge of Weir 167?” Did you ever have a party line?

HeWhoWalksBehindTheRows Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I've always looked forward to, when I'm older and someone asks me a question, being able to reply "aye, ayyyeee" with the second aye being muttered while sharply breathing in and raising up the end of the word. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Been watching Stranger Things with my youngest (10). One of the locations is a video rental shop. That took a fair amount of explaining. Fortunately she didn't require an explanation as to the tangential significance of Cheech and Chong movies to the plot. I know it's not a saying, but it's the best i can do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
