At least in the US, the "floppy" terminology carried over when the disks went from the actual floppy 5.5" disks to the hard-case 3.5" disks.

- herodoturtle 9mo agothanks, that's an insightful comment. so defs not a globally consistent usage of the term then? judging by the article's authorship, i'm guessing denmark and US the same so perhaps US and EU but not elsewhere?
- lobf 9mo agoI only became aware of the use of a different term than "floppy" for the hard 3.5" disks when I opened this thread- you'd have to ask the person I was replying to where they're from.
