I bought a 10 pack of 3 1/2" diskettes in an electronics store today. Asked the kid where the "diskette aisle" was and he had no clue what a diskette was. Had to go and get his older manager.

That's funny. I remember buying one of the early IBM PCs, taking it in for an upgrade a year later, and having the kid in the service department look at the back of the computer and say "Oh, wow--a cassette port!" My $3,000+ investment was already looking obsolete.
