I haven't seen or used a 5.25 floppy in years1  The Apple 2-E and in one
of my schools the Comidor-64.  The 64's also took little carts as well,
and the drive of course with its green and red light took forever to boot
up!  There was one program that was user friendly and talked "Word
Wizard."  I still have a 3.5 inch drive that is usb that came with this
laptop.
