floppy floppy

An old-fashioned 5.25-inch floppy disk, commonly used in early personal computers (such as Apple IIs and IBM PCs). So nicknamed because, unlike 3.5-inch floppies, they are flexible enough to bend when waved (that is, they flop around).

I should put a 5.25" drive in my old computer and see if there are any DOS games I want from the old floppy floppies.

Circa 1990:
Person A: "Can I borrow a floppy disk?"
Person B: "Hard floppy or floppy floppy?"

gamma tester

A user of new software or equipment, who must deal with the bugs that were not eliminated in beta testing.

(Derivation: Gamma is the next Greek letter after alpha and beta.)

I'm going to wait a while before getting Windows Vista; I remember the problems people had with XP and Service Pack 2 when they came out, and I don't want to be a gamma tester.
