all the talk about floppies makes me wonder why you guys didn't have
CDROMs in the mid 90s. Sure I've still got something like 30 floppies

Because around 93/94 CD burners were expensive. Thousands IIRC. If there were commercially burned CD's available I was not aware of them. They would have been out of date quickly anyway. Plus you would have to mail a check or call up with credit card or something since this was pre-WWW being popular or used at all for sales. Much easier to use our fast university net connections to download to floppies.
