Sorry for the lack of information here lately. It's Canadian Winter Hibernation Time. Or, CWHT. And I work in a store that sells movies, so I stay inside where it's warm and watch movies, often while drinking beer, which rules!
A man walks in to the store, very friendly, looks at me as I acknowledge, and asks "Do you have floppy disks?"
I pause.
hmmm, I think to myself... floppy disks... disks spelled with a K instead of a C... those never got bigger than 1.4 megabytes unless I'm mistaking.... weird.
So I say to him "I don't think they make those any more" which seems like a good idea, especially since a year ago I bought a 2 gigabyte (that's like, 2500 floppy disks) USB memory stick for less than $40 and I still use it now with my ultra-modern computation machine.
When he left, I was sort of sad because I don't think he quite got the gist of the whole, that's totally obsolete, bit, and he looked like he was heading to the nearest Macintosh dealer to buy floppy disks! (FAIL... sorry dude, this is a music store)
Foothought:
OMG! If I had a stockpile of floppy disks (which I did several years ago) I could have made this guy pay like $1.00 per disk!! So evil I know, but I do admit that last week I literally sold a Commodore 64 for $15! For serious!
