      In case you are being serious, the save icon is a picture of a “floppy disk” a removable media that was extremely prevalent in the 80s-90s these devices could store get this 1.44 MB of data. IIRC Windows 95 came out on 13 of these puppies that you had to put in one after the other to actually install windows. This was also a similar situation for games.
