The artist has certainly caught my attention. I too am a fan of 90s nostalgia. This photo has pristine high definition. The overlapping technique used here is very business causal. I too used to use floppy disks back in my middle school days so this definitely sparks some thought. I find the vignette very fascinating. It really helps to capture the high definitional transition. The overall appearance has a somewhat advertisement vibe going about; which is great. Clearly this photographer knows what they are doing. Overall, excellent use of retro computer ware. The makers of floppy disks would be very proud.

You're absolutely welcome. I really did use floppy disks back in my middle school days. So this was a great throwback to a simpler time of computer tech. The vignette was spot on with the keyboard. KeepΒ up the great work. Β

So it goes, would say late Mr. Kurt Vonnegut...

In the beginnings of my PhD I have used the 8 "and I have programmed in 360K !!!Β Β Β

I started with Sinclair ZX Spectrum back in the mid-80s. I was kinda super-cool with my 48k unit because my friends had the 16k ones. Later I changed to 128k Spectrum and others told me I am a helluva capitalist who must die in fire for that power and paging memories and all. But I never had access to 8" floppies (I had discs in my hand but drives were already phased out) and my first 286 had both 5.25" and 3.5" drives with a huge 20MB HDD (but some 480k or so memory, I don't really remember) so my friends called me nasty moneybag once again.
I started to learn CorelDRAW (2.01e version

I still have a floppy drive and lots of 1.44mb floppies! When I started with the first IBM PC in the 80Β΄s we used 8β³- floppies with up to 180kB

I actually have dozens of floppies, some of them hides (presumably) some of my literature works that are not available on other media now, but I don't have drive for them. I could, but actually those literature works may be better buried into tiny magnetic particles and different polarity/charge states

Do You want my 3.5Β΄- drive?

Actually I could buy one for a pretty reasonable price with USB interface. It perhaps cheaper than the shipping costs
Er, wait... 3.5 feet drive??? That must be ancient!

Well done! Cannot even imagine only 8 mb any longer....

I just tried this card in my EOS 5D Mk. IV in these days.Β
a) this still works perfectly
b) it can handle one medium sized medium compressed JPEG picture, and nothing above that
c) I would need four of them to store a single RAW image
I have to mention that this CF card was a demo card with one of my CASIOs in the late 1999βearly 2001 era and even then it was obsolete in size. Nikons of the same period came out with a 18MB demo card and Canon sold their cameras without any cards even then. Most of my cards of the same era were 128 MB and I had a few 512 MB and a 1GB card, but they got extremely slow in the cameras of that time. Saving the last pictures to a 1GB card with my then-favourite CASIO QV-2800 UX took at least one minute but often even more if the image contained lots of details.
Another interesting point: I had two or three dead SD cards (three if I count the microSD) but all my CF cards still in perfect working conditions except one that got some nasty liquid with lots of sugar and sticky juice on it. They are robust and reliable and I prefer to handle their "enormous size" than having smaller but less reliable cards.

Of course 18MB is a typo. The Nikon cards were 16MB.
