Darth_mathias Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I couldn't imagine what for... I don't have a floppy drive and I rarely use my CD/DVD drive anymore.the theatre I work at has a old lighting console, we use Floppy disk to save the lighting setups of the show just in case it crashes.

Greg Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 @Mandalay: I think you're referring to Maniac Mansion? I'd heard of this game from friends with Commodore 64s, but it wasn't available for the Radio Shack Color Computer. I think the only LucasArts games available were Koronis Rift and Rescue on Fractalus. By the time I got a PC clone, Maniac Mansion wasn't generally available. Anyone remember 5.25-inch flippy disks? Punch a second sector index hole using a hole punch, cut out an extra write-enable notch, and flip the disk cover to write on both sides using a single-sided drive. @TechAngel: I just realized I'm really getting old because I just thought of CDs and DVDs as ancient technology, and then I remembered I was actually thinking of laser discs from the late '70s or early '80s. Now that you mention it, I haven't used a CD or a DVD in a long time either. I stopped buying and storing audio CDs a hundred years ago in favor of MP3s and I haven't purchased any DVDs since streaming became viable. I regained a ton of space when I dumped all my music CDs. I haven't quite gotten to the point of dumping my DVD collection, but I haven't touched them in at least a year or so. Although completely unrelated, I haven't watched anything on cable/satellite in about 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechAngel85 Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 Same here. I have a whole plastic storage tub full of my old DVDs that I haven't touched in at least two to three years now. Also haven't had any type of TV service in at least 8 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
