*I still don't feel like I "deserve" she/her but no better time than now to ask for it. Either is fine but please don't switch pronoun sets within the same sentence
reposting an old hit: a typewriter (yes, they specifically listed it under typewriters and not under the separate home PC section) from a 1991 Christmas catalog... that runs Tetris.
Hey! You! Cohost Poster and or Lurker! Do you like Educational TV from 1993? Do you like hands on science shows where they take things apart? Or do you simply like the Trojan Instrumental Reggae Box Sex?
Well, Do I Have A Thirty Minute YouTube For You
holy crap, my mom actually had one of those exact models (It might actuall ystill be at my dad's house. I have no idea if it still works.)
is that disk supposed to be in that orientation?
floppy drives have a slide-and-click mechanism, you can put one in the wrong way partway (as in this photo) but not all the way without using excessive force
I'm sure it was just an ad guy thinking noone would recognize a floppy without the metal part but it's so much fun imagining an alternate tech history where they invented automatically-self-orienting disk drives before CDs. like maybe a little jukebox arm in there that picks it up and turns it around
It's kind of incredible how I failed to see that until I read this comment and now I can't stop staring at it.
