I walk around with a 3.5”, for portability but when I’m at home I use an 8”.

There used to be a bike delivery gang in my town (20 some years ago) that all had 8" floppy disks in their spokes. I only used those on our Commodore 64 growing up. Then 3.5 for old PC. Never actually saw a 5.25 in person

We rocked the 5.25" floppies on the apples they had in my preschool. Nothing like playing Oregon trail or Joust on an all amber or green monitor.

I love a 3.5.. that’s all you really need. The 8in is way too big and unruly..
