Today's "Ask Yahoo!" has successfully made me feel old, at age 23. Although, to be fair, my memory of the answer comes after the answer given. To me, the "B" drive was almost always the 5 1/2" floppy drive. I'm kind of surprised that wasn't mentioned in the answer.

Wow. That makes me feel old too. Perhaps even more so because I can remember computers that worked where you booted from one disk and worked off the other.
Then again, I have to wonder why we still have drive letters at all. We should move towards a common root file system similar to Linux or Mac OS X. Then it wouldn't really matter anymore. Perhaps that concept just isn't clear for users?
