Oh, I don't need no cable to know I'm old. I remember the mainframes with their magnetic tapes and the old, really big, floppy disks. What was it? 8"?
Heh. Good times.

Ha! There's an additional category of people who have seen it, recognize it, but are too old to remember what it was for! Ha ha ha.
