SE4 in higher resolutions + OT: floppy disks

[dogscoff]

These days I use a 64meg USB slug for all my small-medium file transfers. Floppies are handy for (very) small files when I come across a pc that can't handle USB (ie win95, most win98) and if LAN/internet is unavailable then I whip out the trusty old serial cable and fire up hyperterminal for files over 1.44 meg.

Floppy disks are still good as throwing stars though, and the rabbit enjoys nibbling on them.

Of course, imho all operating systems should be modelled on amigados and all floppy drives should go "GRR-RR-RRR... Gronk, gronk gronk" like my old A500 used to. Ah, those were the days, directories called "directories" and not "folders", and with a proper "/" in your directory paths too, not a stupid MS "\". playing Llamatron and Alien Breed until the wee hours, editting startup-sequences in Memacs, saving .iff files from deluxe paint and .mods from octamed. Small children playing football in the park, jumpers for goalPosts...

*dogscoff drifts off nostalgically, gronking quietly to himself...
