If I'm not back in 5 minutes you'll know it worked. Maybe I should think this through a little more. ? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should still have a couple 8" floppies saved in storage for kicks. Heck, one may actually have the original ADVENTURE game since I helped port it to the HP (from Unix) back in 1978! "A hollow voice says 'PLUGH!'" We had a CP/M based microcomputer in our ops center in the 80's that was dedicated for some network management tasks. On night shift we would fire up Adventure on that. Seemed amazing at the time... ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember laughing at this ad because who the heck needs 10 MB of storage anyway??? I waited until the price came down to $910 and bought one... *Sigh...* ? This is how I feel about SSD prices over 500mb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
