This is my first time ever hearing about an 8" floppy drive.

They looked like a 33 rpm record only thinner and in a permanent jacket. With that in mind, we had a couple of recent high school grads helping us at our annual e-waste amnesty day recently. One had never seen a VHS tape rewinder and another had no clue what a stereo turntable was. Sure made me feel old. I remember playing 78 rpm records on my old RCA record player that also had a "Wire recorder" built in. Not magnetic tape, but a thin wire that it recorded on. Those were the days!

Yeah...I picked up an 8-track player that still works along with about 10 or 15 cassettes. My kids are amazed.
