Did

try clicking on it and it is good, but it could be the right size on the board, there's no need for the smallness

85k is a bit much for dial-uppers

The irony

of a joke about data transfer rates...

If I were still on dial-up

I don't think I'd go on b3ta very much anyway. Even if all the pics were small, it'd still take ages to download the board.

But I'm not saying it's a bad idea to keep filesizes down. Just commenting.

Single channel ISDN

loading the board and serving a picture at the same time....

I can't help it!

I'm pestering my mom to get broadband every day.

Brilliant.

Only flaw is that some new computers come with no floppy drive. Ah, the good old days when OSes came on 4 floppy disks...

*reminisces*

(MooCow_Byter, Sun 27 Jun 2004, 13:55, archived)

Hmmm

Dos 3.30 came on only ONE 3.5" Disk, and it was not even a high density one!

what do you mean "used to" ?

You can still get versions of linux that run off a single floppy

They have niche uses

I use coyote linux as a DHCP server for running mulitple virtual machines on an internalnetwork.

But anyway, back to the world of things that are actually interesting, you Urs Meier's Hairy Buttocks

I used to use them all the time in my old job.

To repair fucked Windows installations.

(nugchuts, Sun 27 Jun 2004, 14:20, archived)

Yeah, OK.

But they're the ones that you can only use to run MAME or play movies and so on. I mean ones that can do (almost) everything you'd ever want to use your computer for.
