I like how one of the reader letters is about "Classic Computing", already a thing in '92:

>I enjoyed reminiscing with your article "Gone But Not Forgotten" in the May issue (p.18). I don't use my old machines regularly, but I periodically pull out my Franklin Ace 100 (Apple II compatible) that sits in my basement. It was a powerful machine at the time with a huge 64K. At one time, I hooked up six 5 1/4" floppy drives to run a computer bulletin board from my home. Today I can fit all of that on a single 3 1/2" disk and still have room for my System 7 software. Thanks for the memories.

I wonder how Jeffrey I. Algazy feels about his 128G micro SD card.


Well, it can hold more than 88 888 floppies' worth of data!
