Huh, interesting... I didn't know you could use a "/" in lieu of "-". I had to test it out just to see if it worked, I've always just used the minus symbol. You do learn something new everyday.

we upperclassmen call it a 'hyphen'

And we normal people call it a dash. But the pedantic typographers will demand to know if it's an en-dash or an em-dash.

If you want to get really fancy you could call it a "bond." What is it? Bond. Words Bond. -007

Had one of the very first IBM PCs. No hard drive, but two floppy drives and a 13" monochrome CRT monitor.

Up hill, both ways. The stories I could tell...like the time I had to fight off a grizzly bear with my 3-ring binder.

I remember my 14.4K modem built in my PC.'90s
Later much faster with ISDN, 64K !!
And today the minimum you can get is about 20.000K
I started with 9600 bps. It is currently 40 Mbps.

My system writes 664Kbyte. My hobby computer (NewBrain) used the middle one, and could hold 800 Kbyte. The computer had an ‘immense’ memory of 64 Kbyte.
But even in that small memory it could handle a spreadsheet (nowadays Excel)
So things have changed a lot.
Like the first mobile phones / cell phones had the same size and weight as a brick.

OK, there were differences between systems, because on mine those floppy-discs could hold 800 Kbytes. It must have been around 1980.Size on Disk: 644KB.
Yes they could!
Never mind - the idea is to illustrate the big chances. And Cloud-saving didn’t exist either.
Ah, dang. That is because Zooville's software re-encoded the image. The uploaded original was exactly 1,595,261 Bytes, so slightly more than the 1,440 KB that the DOS-formatted 3.5" floppy disk manages to hold.
Yes they could!
