Why don't those metrificated folks outside of
the US talk about 133
mm, 89 mm and 203 mm floppies?
Heh... because it'd be incredibly confusing?
What I want to know is when the US and Canada will get with the program and
start using ISO paper sizes like everyone else :-)
Re. floppy sizes, I don't think I've ever heard anyone say 5" floppy,
however computer illiterate. I believe I have heard 5 1/2" thrown about (to
incorrectly mean 5 1/4") in the early days of 3.5" adoption.
