They started using 5 1/4 inch floppies in 1998? That was already kinda late for those.

lol for real. 5.25" were like 360KB. the universal standard by then was 3.5" (1.44 MB) disks and had been for several years. CD-ROMs with 700MB we're all over by 1994.

the real heads had CD-Rs by 1998 and we're making mix CDs and imaging cracked WaReZ.
