Hard drives. You wusses. Between punch cards, data cassettes,
5-1/4 and 8" floppies, it was years before I saw a hard drive.

I didn't say that HD's were my first storage medium. I remember
typing in 200+ line Star Trek program three times trying to get my GE
tape recorder to work when Apple ][ came out with their first
computer -- which had a wopping 16k of Integer on the motherboard,
but no floppies.
Before that, I used magnetic strips, before that a roll of paper
punch tape, before that punch cards, and before that we recorded
binary on rocks by turning them over in the sun. On cloudy days, our
systems would crash.
