The command LOAD "*",8,1 is permanently ingrained in my mind. All I knew about it is that it’s what you type into the command line after inserting a floppy disk to load whatever was on that disk. Of course, there is a great StackOverflow answer for it now.

We definitely had a disk case like that to hold our huge pile of 5 1/4″ floppies! Most of them were games. Turns out my step-dad Johhny answered a newspaper ad of some fella in Janesville, WI who would make copies of games for you for a few bucks. We went down there and hung out in his basement (as the story goes) to get all the games we got.
