I often see the floppy disk image and think “WTF is that still doing there?”

I can’t imagine what my kids will think it is. My parents are completely confused by the power button. My mom thinks it’s a stick figure finger pushing a button.

I hope this doesn't happen. I don't want to upload things in the cloud. I pay 20 soles for every 700 MB and I can't afford uploading everything to the cloud. I need to store things locally on my file system and maybe offload them to a USB-stick if I need more space... But not to the cloud...
