For once the question was actually dumb. Kids these days don’t know about the dual-floppy setup that ruled the world until hard drives became affordable.

That’s not “dumb”, it’s “not knowing a thing” and I’m sure you do it too.

How it is dumb? There’s no reason for anyone who wasn’t alive then to know about A and B drives.

Yeah, like how it’s dumb for kids to not know about dialling rotary phones, manually tuning in a TV with a knob, being afraid of burning themselves of the incandescent bulb in their bedside lamp or rewinding a VHS tape before ejecting it from the VCR.
