    That’s weird, I’ve always thought of floppies as pretty durable. The 3.5" ones anyway; the older larger ones were flimsier. On the 3.5" ones the little metal cover would get bent sometimes, or occasionally crushed if someone put one in a back pocket and forgot before they sat down; but in my career I’ve had a lot more thumbdrives broken off in the port than bent/crushed floppies. How did you find most of yours broke? Maybe I had an abundance of clumsy colleagues… or maybe I joined the IT workforce too late to have witnessed the tsunami of broken floppies!

      Thumbdrives broken off in the port?? That’s some degenerate levels of sexual frustration coming to light, brother…
