That's pretty good, but I think "A Logic Named Joe" by Murray Leinster in 1946 has describes a service that gets interestingly close to Google in certain regards (once "Joe" starts changing things) even if the details are very different.
Who's joking? I was actually just starting to wonder why nobody even made the suggestion of a 5.25" diskettte drive. I used to do that all the time-- at least, until several years ago when I discovered that the spiffy new motherboard I bought no longer supported 5.25" floppy drives. It was really handy for getting data from old diskettes and putting them onto more modern media.
I don't know if Windows 7 has 5.25" floppy support (I haven't tried), but Windows XP certainly does-- all the way back to the original 160K single-sided format from DOS 1.0. Windows XP/2000 even identifies 5.25 drives with a cute little icon that looks like a 5.25" diskette (instead of the usual 3.5" diskette icon).
