How many floppy disks would I need

You get a :blue_heart: for taking it one step further. You should do all of them though!

God I want to push you into a locker

kidding

Or am i?

:smirk::nail_care:

Yes.

If you can fit me in a locker, then I’ll accept it. Either way I’m taking you with me though. :kissing_heart:

Challenge accepted…

Three hundred forty-seven days, five hours, twenty minutes. (Good luck playing Shadowlands before the next one drops.)

Twenty-eight days, twenty-two hours, twenty-seven minutes.

Forty-three days, nine hours, forty minutes.

Twenty-four days, two hours, forty-three minutes.

Twelve days, nine hours, thirty-eight minutes.

In all of the above cases, I’d say ā€œthe heck with itā€ and find something else to do.

How long would it take me to download the expansion on my 9600 baud modem?

And it would fit on 233 million Commodore data cassettes.

This reminds me of when I ā€œbacked upā€ Doom 2 on 8 disks. Sucked downloading it over night on my 14.4k modem and free trial AOL/Compuserve/Prodigy service. :joy: :turtle:

Assuming they even work, considering the limited lifespan of diskettes and they aren’t being made anymore…

can blizzard make a game use so many floppies that even they cant count them? :thinking:

ā€œyouve got mailā€
grrrrrrrrr…

Three words that are literally the only three spoken words in the history of man that make me want to put my first thru a CRT monitor :laughing:

like 60k but it runs pretty well on my window 94 machine , solid perfomance!

Cosmo’s Cosmic Adventure was more my style. Boot from DOS. Seriously, everyone should play that game at some point in their lives.

One of my previous jobs, the boss had some old ā€œimportantā€ floor plans on floppy disks he wanted me to retrieve. This was like 2010s and I don’t think any of our computers had drives for it…

That’s 2,908 POUNDS of floppy disks. (1,319KG)
