Brilliant.  I'd suggest getting the following in:

1.  If you really have to use a floppy disk, use a 5 1/4 floppy.  These are
    *really* 5 1/4 inch in size unlike the so called 3 1/2 inch which are
    really 90 mm (measure with both sides of a ruler to verify this).

2.  If you want to listen to music use a 12 inch vinyl record [I presume this
    is the size since I don't have any now] rather than a CD.  The former is
    *really* 12 inches, the latter is 12 cm.

The above help to drive home the point that obsolete standards are in
obsolete units, whereas the newer stuff is in metric (particularly the 2nd
as the 12 has been retained, but inches have gone to centimeters).
