3.11 had a floppy pack bundled with Office, it was freaking huge, something like 60 floppies. And they were those freaky 1.68MB floppies as well.
Fun fact: Those were still the exact same floppies that you would normally have formatted to 1.44MB, but Microsoft formatted the disk differently to allow 1.68MB. Works well for small numbers of large files, but not so great for general purpose storage.
