Just a random observation (I.e. 75% of the stuff I say)

Isn’t it awesome that pretty much all software applications that we use today still have the classic ‘floppy disk’ symbol to represent the save function? I wonder at what point it will lose it's classic symbolism and people will recognise it simply as the save icon

I chased them off with a rake.

I've got an original gameboy to show my little brother - who thinks the originals are gameboy colour.

Can't wait for the day they start doing 'nineties nights'

Remember Minidiscs?

[aramazia_kin]

urg, dont remind me

[kristofski]

Minidiscs definately had their time and place. For about 2 years (around the time I was at college) while diskmans were still shite (I never liked them ever anyway... welcome to skip city) and before mp3 players came down in price they had their heyday. Being able to see the track title/artist and 320mins high quality playback was pretty awesome. You're just bitter because you bought that shitty UMD music player before they'd even invented the disks!!!!

was that the 1 gig minidisc player i bought where the software never worked, so i couldnt use the 1 gig discs properly

Funnily enough, after I read this post one of my colleagues asked me to help him with saving something to a floppy disk! XD
Urrgh, crappy crappy little things!

I almost cried when I was in an arcade and some kid didn't know what a SNES was. :\
