quote of the day thread..

"Those 3.5 inch floppy disks were very handy, I wonder why they quit making them?"
My wife, yesterday while we were watching 'Office Space'.

I lol'd.

Ask her what she thought of the zip/Jaz drives. LS120 was a favorite, let's write 120MB of data on the FDD bus!! how slow can it be?

ooooo, or the Orb, hell no one ever remembers or even knew about those.

Ah zip, I had almost forgotten. My first one was parallel port, talk about slow! And also somehow that reminded me of low level formatting 1440k floppies to 1722k to run some obscure Linux distro that wouldn't otherwise fit on a normal 3.5" disk.

I guess I shouldn't help derail the QOTD thread...


"See if you can guess what I am now?"

"I'm a zit! Get it?"
 
We still use zip drive with a serial cable here at work for one piece of equipment once in a while. Still use 3.5 floppies for another piece of equipment. Most of which should have been replaced 10-15 years ago.

Lewis: "Yes. Because jocks always think about sports. Nerds always think about sex."
