Floppy disks saw common use up to the early years of the 21st century.

>>52012815

Floppy disks didn't stop being used in 1985 though penis breath. CD-ROMs didn't really take off until the mid 90s, floppies were still in common usage until around 10 years ago.

Floppy drives only really died in about 2005 when USB flash drives got cheap enough and USB 2 ports got common enough.

If we have Random Access Memory, why can't we have Random Denial Memory???

F*CK THAT!

Would something like the storage a VM can access, eg, what speccy might pick up as 'QEMU virtual disk' count as a soft disk? It's a disk in software after all.
