I remember how amazingly fast discs seemed compared to loading from tape on the BBC Micros at school.

When I was 17 I won a Commodore PET for my school in a competition. They already had one of those, but they didn't have the disk drive which I also won. My maths teacher, who ran the school computing club, was so excited that she kissed me. I've never seen a middle aged woman look so embarrassed so quickly.
