    Don’t copy that floppy!

    I think the generational shift was mostly that the previous generation just didn’t have or use computers at home, and suddenly they were everywhere. Most households just didn’t have a computer until the late 90s or early 00s. By then, floppies were on their way out, and burning CDs was all the rage.

      For a class project in college, I made a 5-disk raid-0 out of floppy drives and demo’d the performance by playing a compressed version of “don’t copy that floppy” for the class. Thankfully my lecturer had a sense of humor lol.
