Glatt:

WANG used to make the first floppy drives. The disks were 8 inches across. I remember in high school I got my hands on an 8-inch wang. The 5 1/4 inch floppys were already being used in most smaller computers but the 8-inch wang drive was on the school mainframe. I had access to the mainframe because I was a top student in my school and worked in the office during homeroom period.

I wish I still had an 8-inch wang. Now I don't even have a 3 and a half incher anymore.
