This lovely specimen felt justified in taking up three whole seats aboard a fairly full subway train this evening. (Specifically the 33rd-HOB line on the PATH system).

Of late, given my present lot in life, I have made great use of the Amtrak mobile app for Android.

On occasion, the app crashes, and this screen is displayed.



It is an unending source of wry amusement for me.

 

I love his rant at the end about sending Nugent to England.

When I'm bitching and complaining, I'm sitting at the computer pissed off and ranting to myself in a very similar way to Carolla, just not as funny or organized.

 

 

Oh, yeah. I remember that disk.

That's disK, with a "K" you young'uns. That's how we used to spell it back in the days when men were men.

 

I still have my collection of Sierra games on 3.5 discs. I don't think I had much on 5.25, nothing of consequence at least.

 

I didn't have much DOS stuff on 5.25, but I did have a rather sizable C-64 collection at one time.

 

Is the disc inside the disk a disk or a disc?

disckuss.

 

I used them as frisbees.

 

 

 

5.5"?? Mines 8" d00d

 

I wish I had anticipated the nostalgia of some of these old pieces of computer hardware. All a memory now. The oldest stuff I have is Pentium II era junk. I only have 1 remaining 3.5 that I can find. I like to set it on the desk from time to time next to an SD card and blow my own mind imagining my 16GB SD is actually a 256GB SDXC. 178,000x the capacity in about 1/25 the physical volume. Or about 4.5 Million times the density. That kind of jump in 30 years...
