I remember having to juggle something like 6 floppy disks just to load Dune II on our family’s old, hand-me-down Amiga 2000 back in the early-to-mid 90s. How is this still a fucking things 30+ years later?!
For profit prisons. Bet they sell floppies for like 10 times what they should cost, which honestly should be free since it’s essentially trash nowadays.
Well unless you’re me and you have this idea for a giant wall art piece of old school pixelated graphics made from colored floppies connected together. Yes I’m a nerd. But if you have any old floppies you want rid of hit me up.
Good times, using pkzip to install Doom II from like 10 floppies I got from my friend. And then there’d be an error on disk 7 randomly, so you’d have to start over and hope nothing fucked up for no reason.

Surely it’d be cheaper for them to switch to a more common media like cheap, crappy flash drives than sourcing out floppy drives?
give them some ssd drives and the latest windows update… at least they’ll learn how to troubleshoot.
