This was a little later than some of the things you are talking about, but
how about this one? Remember making "double-sided" disks using a hole punch?
This was especially challenging for my TRS-80 Mod I, because it needed
sector hole for the second side as well as a write-protect hole.

Of course, "sound" on this machine consisted of putting an AM radio beside
the keyboard to pick up the patterns in the radio interference.

Memories...

For those of you who are under 40, (this obviously excludes you, Mr.
Sanders) "abend" is short for "abnormal (program) end."

Just FYI

Guess I've just been around too long to let this one pass unnoticed.

Hex? That's a wrench right? I've got some in my garage. Got 'em at
K-Mart. And yes, sometimes they crash onto the floor...
