The 80s? You could still walk into a store and get 5 1/4 inch floppies in the mid 90s. 3 1/2 inch microfloppies were still dominant until the early 2000s until flash drives replaced them. HD (High Density) floppies held 1.44 megs of data but there was an ED (Extended Density) disk format that could hold 2.88 megs. It never caught on because CD-ROMS replaced those for storing large amounts of data, along with other formats like Zip Disks.

Probably just for the novelty of having it all. Plus it would still be a bitch and a half finding whatever you were in the mood for.

My mistake. It was the first twelve.
My question is: Who would need all that porn?
Yes.
ALL of the porn.
There’s an SCP that contains the entire internet on floppy disks. The first three are porn.
1.44MB. You’d be surprised what people in the 80s did to make it work.
