You're Right and it is and they don't, but he popped that (?) in there so I gave him all the data I could

No more powerful than the Talisman, is it?
The Talisman is way too powerful. Unfortunately, I do not see any fix for it coming any time soon.
There is a fix: "ya got to have faith, a-faith, a-faith. Baaaby...".
Play it yourself or don't play with it at all?
But seriously, what kind of fix would you recommend? Is making it cost more enough? Is making it less effective enough? What about making the ship easier to hit?

The term you may be looking for is floppy diskettes. It goes Hard Disks, Floppy Diskettes, Compact Discs.
The Old 5.25" were FLOPPY!

The three-and-a-half were floppy too, but you had to break them open to see it.
Before the five-and-a-quarter where the eight-inch diskettes. I have a large number of them I picked up at a surplus store. I have made a mural on my wall of them. |

Re: Computer Combat ?
The 5 1/2" were Sloppy Floppies.
The 3 1/4" are Hard Floppies.

Re: Computer Combat ?
Havn't heard much from you, or your sock, in a while. Nothing to say about the thread implosion?
Oh, and I think you have the fractions mixed up.

Re: Computer Combat ?
Hello Loser,
I have been busy. If it's not overtime, then it is vacation time.
Take care.

As loser says it's 5 1/4" and 3 1/2". I found the 5 1/4" funny, you could literally throw them down the room, they would stil work.
I tried it once with a 3 1/2", well, they aren't as "flexible"
