Most of the time people just called them "disks"... "Floppies" yeah, "stiffies" never.

Edit: Oh yeah, and those complaining about the download being slow, why aren't you using the torrent? There are currently about 600 seeds... I've already uploaded nearly 25 copies so far.

yeah, I remember those days.
I had a 14.400 baud Modem (or what it was called) and dialed in through University Server. Often all slots where occupied and you could not connect.
Hehe.

Are you too young to remember 8" floppies? I think Osborne used them in the early '80s
