The giant pile of floppies was Windows 95, at more than 100. And the Windows 98 upgrade CD. would ask for a random one several times during a clean install, so we had those things for a while.
As for showing my actual age, when I was a kid my dad bought an Amstrad PC1512, a mostly DOS machine with two 5.25" floppy drives and no hard drive.
I’ll take my huge stack of Windows 3.1 floppies and see myself out.
Windows 3.1 was only like 7 disks.
