My opener has been failing me as of late.
Decided to mix things up today.
The third one is my regular opener...

I've tried doing that and got very similar results I stick with my original starters now ( Crane and Pious depending on the result of the first guess )

I use a different word every week - just to make it more "interesting" 
Happiness will never come to those who fail to appreciate what they already have. -Anon

I've tried various first words - LEAST, TALES, STEAL, STALE, SLATE, TESLA, etc! 
|
|
|
|
|
It accepts TESLA? I thought proper nouns weren't allowed...

I believe 3.5" floppies first arrived with IBM's PS/2. The Wikipedia agrees : IBM PS/2 - Wikipedia[^]. It used PC-DOC 3.3 along with a few other OSs.

Note that while most of us think of 3.5" floppies as having a 1.44 Mbyte capacity, the first variants held 360 kbyte, then came 720 kbyte, then 1.44 Mbyte which became The Floppy that everyone has heard of. There also was 2.88 Mbyte standard, but it never enjoyed great success - new media was coming in.

There was also the LS-120 which became my very first PC hardware hack back in '98. I've still got the drive and a few disks!

I remember the 720KB disks being the low-density variety, and the ubiquitous 1.44MB, but have no recollection of the 360KB ones. Weren't those the low-density 5.25" ones (high density being 1.2MB)?
I do recall the 2.88MB 3.5" disks, but have never seen one.

Yes, we had 360k 3.5" floppies. According to Museum of Obsolete Media[^], 360k floppies arrived in 1982, while 720k arrived in 1984. 1.44M arrived in 1987.
The 360 and 720 versions were physically similar, so you could reformat a 720 as a 360, and usually the other way around as well. 720 packed the data more densely, and required a higher quality. So manufacturers tested each disk for the 720 quality requirements, and those failing were sold as 360 at a lower price. As the manufacturing process improved, those not passing were still quite good and much cheaper. So the market for 360 kept up - but most of them were used as 720.
There were rumors (probably true) that when the manufacturers had enough 'passed' 720 floppies to satisfy the demand, the rest of the batch was left for the 360 marked without testing. Possibly, most or a lot of them would have passed as 720 if they had been tested, but with the 720 market saturated, labeling the rest as 360s to get them sold was better than just throwing them away

I guess so.
I looked at some of my old software. One box has 5.25 and 3.5 and requires "DOS 2+", so at least the operating system would read it if the drive was installed.

So I was handed a laptop with Win8.1 last evening to upgrade to 10, since it's now unsupported and major browsers no longer install on it.
I figured, this should be straightforward enough. The laptop is slow and using a spinner, but I thought I'd just let it run overnight. Should still be plenty of time.
I let it install updates as it went along, the idea being, by the time it's done, it'll be up to date already (or at least that's the theory). Otherwise, if you don't let it, you still have to catch up with whatever updates have been released since the ISO was created (and this is 22H2, the latest).
Woke up this morning to a message saying the upgrade failed (and had reverted back to 8.1) "...during INSTALL_UPDATES operation".
So much for the time-saver.
So I've restarted the upgrade, this time, telling it to stick with the files from the ISO and nothing else. For good measure, Ethernet has been disconnected, and this laptop doesn't know any of my wifi passwords. Hopefully that works, otherwise I'm quickly running out of options, and my only other recourse might to be repave. Which I don't wanna do as there's user files all over the place, and the owner doesn't remember half of his passwords.
