What's that suposed to be? Seems like I have another meaning for "IDE"

    The IDE standard was used to connect hard drives and optical drives in from the late 80’s to the mid 00’s. Also known as ATA, it was renamed Parallel ATA when its successor, Serial ATA (SATA) came onto the scene.

    IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) is the more commonly known name for what was also called Parallel AT Attachment (shortened from Parallel AT Bus Attachment).

    The newer drive standard, SATA means Serial AT Attachement.

    It's a joke based on the Verge article from last year(?) that said Zoomers don't know what files and folders on a computer are.

    I guess I'm very out of the loop!

    Fortunately I know that a folder is an envelope that contains multiple papers, and files mean papers that refer to something specific. And all of these can be put on top of your computer, which most people do because the big computer box is flat and good for storing things on it.

    I mean seriously, people don't know this?
