"I have bought many a DVD before it all went online, and I am old enough to have bought Slackware CDs (downloading it was a pain, and you could always cut floppies off it)"

So you must be a youff who arrived after CDs were invented.

Floppies would have been a *luxury* to us. We had to copy it out, by hand (with both of our hands cut off), onto soggy newspaper, using an empty fountain pen, cos our dad had made us drink the ink for breakfast (our once-a-year breakfast). Tell the kids of today that and they won't believe you.
