We leave drives A and B reserved in honor and remembrance of floppy disks. Think of it as reserving a famous sports player's number. Those things could hold so much data that we still use a floppy disk as the icon for saving things today.
When I saw this I realized there is a whole generation that will never know why there are no A or B drives.
As an IT worker, there are people already in the workforce who have literally no clue what a "drive" is because they don't use traditional computers anymore. My youngest brother is a freshman in college; I offered to get him a laptop before he left as a bday present and he told me no. Apparently it's all about iPads now.
A new gen iPad with a keyboard is probably a more useful and higher spec-ed laptop than the MacBook I had in college 12 years ago so he might not be wrong there. Although I would never say no to a free laptop that I can use to install all the weirdest Linux distros I can find lmao
We had to use iPads in school. It was horrible. AirDrop never worked, WiFi connection dropped all the time, if you managed to get three Apps at the same time (which only worked with three specific apps, as very few apps "support" split screen and even fewer to be a freeform window) they were crashing every 10 min. iOS/iPadOS, or any mobile OS, is not any good to work with. To work with in just one app? Ok, but what do you want to do there? You'll likely need at least a browser and word processor. This already sucked in my experience (for three years) as iOS never managed to give focus to word for writing. And adding eg. Teams to it will end your workflow faster than you can say "Respring" (which iPads do often).
