Cmon!! Still going for the only person on TPU to hav 2 floppy drives..... Not that theres much competition..lol.

ex_reven · Apr 17, 2007

I used to love torturing floppy drives.

Aka, reading a floppy disk and ejecting the floppy while it was reading.
It made that awesome "ttickickticktickticktickticktick" noise when you fucked with it :roll:

DaMulta · Apr 17, 2007

Who needs a Floppy drive these days???

Also now with Vista you don't need one for SCSI drivers because MS finally decided its ok to use a CD-Rom for that now.

Joshmcmillan · Apr 17, 2007

Knowone "needs" a floppy. But cmon who doesn't just love the slow old small little things??

tkpenalty · Apr 17, 2007

Joshmcmillan · Apr 17, 2007

DAM! lol. I use 0 but doesn't mean I don't adore them (in a rubishy, slow, old junk type of way).

tkpenalty · Apr 17, 2007

... this clubhouse of yours is getting deflated quick. I would only like Floppys if they could store like more than 100MB... but they dont.

t_ski · Apr 17, 2007

Dang I don't qualify. Closest I came was paying ~$90 for an 3.5" & 5.25" combo drive about 10-15 years ago...

Joshmcmillan · Apr 17, 2007

Do you adore floppy drives? U qualify then! LOL!

t_ski · Apr 17, 2007

Nope, sorry

Joshmcmillan · Apr 17, 2007
