No, it was pretty amazing at the time. Before flash drives, floppies were your standard option for rewritable storage. They held only 1.5 megs, so the jump was insane and so worth the price.
What stung was how just a few years later the technology had advanced so much that they became dollar store items.

Wow. I feel dumb. I read organism as 'orgasm'. Post made no sense until I realized I was the one who made no sense.

This might be right but it feels wrong. Some thoughts should stay thoughts.

From the meriam-webster dictionary, under "female" usage as a noun.
In the 14th century, female appeared in English with such spellings as femel, femelle, and female. The word comes from the Latin femella, meaning “young woman, girl,” which in turn is based on femina, meaning “woman.” In English, the similarity in form and sound between the words female and male led people to use only the female spelling. This closeness also led to the belief that female comes from or is somehow related to male. However, apart from the influence of male on the modern spelling of female, there is no link between the origins of the two words.

They do make up your digestive system, which is a crucial part of your body. Bacteria process our food into usable energy for us...I think that's not as symbiotic as it is integral.

It was a great improvement over the 3.5” floppy, which was the standard for portable data storage at the time.
