2. OMG, that's the funky shit!!!!

Too funny, that made my dayt Nlighten1

I love it, especially the rapper dancing in old games from my childhood, FS4, Oregon Trail, Carmen Sandiego...

It's just about the time when I started pirating games w/friends. Ha....

I can remember those days fondly, when you could fit weeks worth of entertainment on a 800k 3.5" or even a 5 1/4"!!!

The best part is when the lackeys tell us that the computer age will END because of piracty. Let's see, damn, I wish I had a computer right now, it's a shame piracy put an end to all of this. If only I didn't have to use a carrier pigeon to post on DU.

Thanks for the great laugh!!!

3. See what all you floppy-copiers did?

Because of floppy piracy, the format is dead. Just try to find a video game on floppy anymore. You can't. Because all the floppy pirates destroyed the profit potential. Nice going, guys.

5. So this is from when Apple actually included the ability to copy one's

Edited on Sun Oct-19-03 03:42 PM by Rabrrrrrr

documents to a floppy without being charged another $200 for a frickin' floppy drive?

looks like an old Apple to me, anyway.

Never understood why Apple would build computers from which there is no ability to make backups of your files without being forced to BUY - to friggin' buy - a floppy or CD burner etc. Sure, now they come with CD-ROM burners, but still, why not just include a floppy in case all you want to copy is a bloody text document?
