in thread Perl Module Stripping

According to Wikipedia, that was the biggest size. "The result was a read-only, 8-inch (20 cm) floppy they called the "memory disk", holding 80 kilobytes". Heh.

I seem to remember seeing 12" disks as well somewhere, but I might be confusing them with vinyl. But no, they really existed!

    I remember seeing 12" floppies, too - a very long time ago... But even back then, I think they were becoming obsolete.
