And I will raise you a DOS 2.11 (on 360k 5.25" floppy)

This PC has a 3.5" and a 5.25" floppy drive.  But it can't use both at the same time. 
Oh, and a 56K MODEM.

Old tech? I still have floppy on my desktop machine. I like it and I'm still using it (yeah, I have diskettes).
P.S. (machine has 5.9 experience index in windows 7).

(someone else must have already posted this) - USB floppy drive

That's what got used, it was finding the darn thing...

try recovering data from a 21Mb 3.5" floptical...

Oh, someone bought them?

yep, I have one that was retired at our office years ago... still works, have the box, all the docs, and a dozen or so disks.

One of the big problems that I find is that nobody seems to manufacture a PCI card to support the floppy interface. IDE sure. But not floppy.
If the motherboard doesn't support it, then you're sh*t out of luck.
|
|
|
|
|
Yep, that's where I'm glad I had the foresight to buy a USB floppy, it's just finding the dang thing... 
|
|

There are motherboards that still have IDE interface. Search for "industrial motherboard with IDE." You can also find ones with ISA slots.
(That reminds me, I should update my 1989 DOS-based program that controls a process so it can use a USB version of the ISA I/O card....)

Updating your resume?

The ability to write:
double Wonderful = 2^3;
Instead, I have to write
double awful = Math.Pow(2,3);
|
|
|
|
|
Or...
double prettyOK = 2 * 2 * 2;
or
double worksForMe = 1 << 3;
