Same here. Built quite a few applications on ASP. Don't know why Microsoft kept the name, ASP.NET is not related to ASP in any way
Yeah, very confusing.

8", man, those were apparently before my time. I got started when 5 1/4" floppies were the standard.

8" were around for a while. You can see here that this one was used in 1992. 5 1/4" and cassettes were common for home use when I was young, well, tapes at least, 5 1/4" inch floppies came about a few years into me using computers. But it wasn't too long.
8" was never common for home, only for the office. It was mostly mini-computers and high end workstations that used them.

The floppy drives started with 8" models from IBM in 1971. The 5 1/4" wasn't invented until the later half of the 1970s. The 3.5" was invented in 1982 and first adopted by Apple in 1984 and the first high density, I believe, was the Commodore Amiga in 1985.
CP/M, which preceded DOS, was designed around the 8" floppy medium.

I remember using a computer with dual 5.25 floppies at home in the early 90s, That, I think, was my first interaction with a computer.
