So the eight inch floppy originally stored 80 kilobytes in 1971. And then it went up to 256, eventually maxing out at 1.2 megabytes. The five and a quarter introduced in 1976, single-sided, single density, 160K. And then they figured out double density, 360K. Eventually they did a double-sided double density, 720K. And then double-sided high density. 1.2 megabytes.

So they finally made their way back up to the eight inch. Maybe this is why the U S nuclear's are just like, we're cool with the eight inch man, three and a half inch introduced in 1980 started at seven 20 K double-sided high density, 1.44. That's the most common. And then extra high density, 2.88 megabytes.

Yeah, we were there. I don't know if we're sure if we were there. in the building together, Adam, but I've been there. It's in the valley. In San Diego, right? I mean, San Jose. Yeah, it's called the Computer History Museum. Is that what it's called? It's really cool. I thought we were there together, Adam. Maybe I was there with somebody. Were we there together? Maybe we were. I think we were.

It must be ancient history then. Well, there is no ancient computer history because computers aren't ancient.

They have actually a pretty cool Instagram as well that I've checked out where they still post stuff regularly. And they have new stuff coming in. I'm trying to find the actual address of the place to confirm. You're saying it's in San Diego. It's in Mountain View. I think we're there together, Adam. Hmm. Mountain View, California.
