I don't know, doesn't it get all screwed up if you get a magnet close to it?

It's only 720K if you get the DSDD model, but you can drill a hole in the upper left to convert it to the 1.44MB DSHD model.

You guys are confused, I don't think that's 3.5 inches, unless that's one of the borrowers.

Now I don't feel so bad that I missed it as bad as rCadeGaming missed the DOS era magnetic media humor.

The floppy below left is a standard 1.44MB, the one on the right is a 720KB drilled out which allows reformatting as a 1.44MB.

I think rCadeGaming was making a comment about the size of the floppy relative to the arm thats opening the drawer.

Too many jokes flying over everyone's heads.

Those both look, like 3.5" disks though; was just saying the table looks a lot bigger. It probably has a laser disc in it.

Damnit Hoopz, stop defending me while I'm trying to type!

What it really needs is a lined yellowing label that reads Commander Keen

D'oh! Googled The Borrowers, and with that, teh dumb melts away into clarity.

(proper noun, not generic adjective)

Don't remember ever seeing the movie or even previews.

You mean like this drilled and reformatted DS,DD ==> DS, HD?

I haven't seen it either. It was a book though, and Miyazaki (Studio Ghibli; Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, etc.) just made a new film based on it.

I would make it an AOL floppy. We all had a drawer full of those.

Put a drawer under the table and blow everyone's mind.

Proposed edit.

I would make it from AOL floppies. We all had a drawer full of those.

Is this too meta?

Scott

ChadTower · « **Reply #23 on:** December 07, 2012, 03:51:36 pm »

Not too meta but we HAD a drawer full. It would be hard to locate that many of them now.

Well Fed Games · « **Reply #24 on:** December 07, 2012, 04:45:44 pm »

I want 5 of them so I can pretend to install a giant copy of Doom II.
