Thought I hit the jackpot...

You could probably fit some low quality JPEGs onto that 16mb card!
 
I remember when I growing up, we had a Commodore 64 with a 300 baud modem. The first inklings of an internet was a messaging program that took us about 5 mins to log into where we could talk to our buddy. A single line of green text on a completely black screen. You hit enter, several minutes later, they would receive that line of text. And we would say things, wow, this is soooo cool. Amazing. Neat-o. We were "connected" to someone else via computer. Ha Ha
 
We renovated or customer service office at work and while moving some old furniture they found a couple of these little gems. I took one because it made me feel nostalgic. 720kb baby!

hahaha.. I tried to interface an 8" floppy drive to a commodore 64... and got it halfway.. it would read.. but not write! Had several of the 5.25 drives for it too! Fun stuff!
 
I though about trying to dig up an old floppy drive to see if I could read it but I don't think I have any left. Probably nothing worth seeing on it anyway, but it would be fun to try.
 
Does anybody remember those digital cameras that used a 2 1/4" floppy instead of a memory card?

I can only remember seeing one once, a guest at my sisters wedding had one.
 
Do not fold, bend or mutilate. Punch cards. Now that was memory.

I remember when London Life in London ON bought up a city block of beautiful Victorian homes, tore them down to build a huge building for their new computer.
