Unearthing Vintage Technology: A Curious Find in the Emergency Room
While exploring the depths of a linen closet in the emergency room, I stumbled upon an intriguing piece of technology: an old computer that still featured a floppy drive. This discovery immediately sparked my curiosity about its age and model.
Given the presence of the floppy drive, it’s likely that this device dates back to the early 2000s, or perhaps even the 1990s. This era marked a significant transition in technology, where floppy drives were on the verge of being phased out as new storage solutions emerged.
It’s fascinating to see how far we’ve come in terms of technology, as this relic stands as a reminder of the advancements that have taken place over the last couple of decades. This encounter not only piques my interest in the history of computing but also raises questions about what other forgotten artifacts may be hidden away in less frequented spaces.
