在计算机技术的演进过程中,非常值得信赖和尊敬的软盘却变化极少。诚然,它已不是原来低容量、200mm(8英寸)的笨重模样,也出落得比较紧凑,容量也提高许多,体积也缩至90mm(3.5英寸)。但是,从内部看一看,便可知道它仍然是一块涂覆着磁性材料的软塑料薄盘,这种技术在50年前已经用来存储声音信号了。从另一方面看,即使采用压缩技术,我们已差不多达到了标准软磁盘容量的顶点。 CD-ROM的出现吸引了众 In the evolution of computer technology, very trustworthy and respectable floppy disk has changed very little. Granted, it’s not a bulky, 200mm (8-inch) bulky form. It’s also smaller and has a lot more capacity, shrinking to 90mm (3.5 inches). However, from the inside, you can see that it is still a thin plastic sheet coated with magnetic material, a technique that was used to store sound signals 50 years ago. On the other hand, even with compression, we’ve almost reached the apex of standard floppy capacity. The emergence of CD-ROM attracted the public
