I miss those days(1)
I just calculated the disk usage of QQ (a very popular instant message software in China, like ICQ/MSN/AIM), the result is 140M. It surprises me much and makes me remember the old days.
In those days I even had not seen any x86 PCs. I joined a interest class for the first touch of computer. The most advanced machine is AppleII which we could not use because our level was not enough and they were the appropriative ones of senior class. Before each class I walked pass the AppleII room and had a look into it. Oh, it was so mysterious!
In those days I used a PC manufactured by IBM. It had no hard disk but only two 5.25 inch floppy disk driver which can read 360k floppy disks. I remember the day I copied the great tool called PCTOOLS from a senior classmate and type PCT in dos command prompt. In that day I was the most welcome person in class because only I had this tool (even our young teacher had no experiences about it) and everyone want to see what it can do.
In those days PC is luxurious for common family. We used floppy disks to exchange software and games with each other. Though the 3.5 inch floppy was more convenient but also expensive, we still preferred the 5.25 inch ones more. Because the capacity of them is different and can?? be duplicated easily, we were so exciting when use HD-COPY which is the first software can fully copy the contents in a 3.5 inch floppy to a 5.25 inch one.
To be continues…
