X-ray Dept

The floppy disk on the table was one of those 8" sizes, used in the 70's and 80's.

I love you! I haven't seen one of those in years!!!! Ah the 8" days... When it took a special room and a specially trained person just to find the program you needed!

Damn! I thought it was a 5 1/4" inch until I saw its size compared to the nearby book o.o Was it labelled?

As recently as the late 90's we had some IBM test equipment that used those huge old floppies.

The equipment was quite old, but worked just fine.

I remember those IBM 8" disks well and the drives that took to read them. They looked like a toaster with a thyroid condition, all bloated up with two slits for the disks. That's when 10mb hard drives came out and we were told we would "never fill one up"!! Now GIGAbyte drives are common and terrabytes on are tap. (I'm a computer nerd from WAY back!!)

If there are patients records there they should've been destroyed of properly. I just don't understand how they can leave that stuff behind---there are laws for that and big fine's too. Very big. Shame on them if they left that info behind.

Drove by that place yesterday. I turned around for some reason and rode up the dirt road. No idea why. Looked at the delapitated ruin. Real creepy. I am an x-ray Tech. Can't explain how I knew X-rays were taken there. Never will go near there again.
