When I saw this I realized there is a whole generation that will never know why there are no A or B drives.
As an IT worker, there are people already in the workforce who have literally no clue what a "drive" is because they don't use traditional computers anymore. My youngest brother is a freshman in college; I offered to get him a laptop before he left as a bday present and he told me no. Apparently it's all about iPads now.
A new gen iPad with a keyboard is probably a more useful and higher spec-ed laptop than the MacBook I had in college 12 years ago so he might not be wrong there. Although I would never say no to a free laptop that I can use to install all the weirdest Linux distros I can find lmao
I remember installing Photoshop from floppies.
I remember installing Windows 3.1 from floppy and finding out the fourth disk out of six was corrupted and realizing I had just wasted a day since I had to go back to the library to copy them again.
