    Fond Slackware memories.

    I lie, not fond memories, the 19th floppy was always illegible for some reason. I ended up dragging my box to the office to hook it up to the leased line (that’s something else that’s gone btw).

      You can still order and provision leased lines, some security companies use them as secondary heartbeat monitors.

      Also, this exact reason was why I always had 2 sealed copies of Win95 floppy insall in a desk drawer till CD drives were affordable.
