People crack me up

Bahahaha, my friend brought in a CD today because she needed to finish typing a paper.

All that was on the CD was a SINGLE WORD DOCUMENT!

For argument's sake, she could have fit well over 30,000 of them on that CD. :D

This is why we still need floppys around;) :D

[silence]

hehe.....well......good she didn't bring DVD then:D

nah, use those pocket size CDs instead. The death of floppy disks has long been overdue :)

[LORD-eX-Bu]

can't you eh, make multisession cds for that?:D

[stncttr908]

She's not that savvy to do that.

[LORD-eX-Bu]

LMAO!:lol:

well, I had to waste a CD to burn my bios onto it:D

[stncttr908]

I've always assumed that you couldn't do multisession discs with a CDR...am I wrong? :eek:

[1stFlight]

For the small stuff I'm a big fan of those USB key's. Great for everything!

Devil child!! Do not take away my images of games on floppys:p :D

I had Duke Nukem II on floppy somewhere, that was a real game:p

you are correct, you can do multisession and fill up the disc later :)

[omghi2u]

If it was multisession...that'd be allright. But was it a rewriteable any chance?

[volt]

You can have multisessions on both CDR-CDRW's only if you choose not to close the session during the first burn.

DAO->leave session open

[stncttr908]

I can't believe I never thought of that.

It was a CDR, but I'd put money on the fact that she doesn't know what finalizing was or how to enable it.

50 1.44 meg disks = $11
50 cdr 700 meg disks = $11
50 cdr 700 meg disks = $20

price per meg cdr and cdrw are way better than floppy

and any cdr and be left open for another session - almost all cdrom drives can read a multy session

But it's just not practical. I mean come on, start > run > A: copy and paste. Or open Nero, make new data cd, drag, burn, remember not to finalize, etc.

Well if you have a specially set up automated system over a network with a bot that inserts, takes out cds and the like it would be easier (not quicker). It's more for lazy people. :lol:

You just have to right click and send it to the automated bot. That's it. The bot will do everything and even set the cd down next to you. :lol:

Talk about 200 years into the future. :lol:

Of course TV stations work like that nowadays.

I have MILLIONS of games in 5¼ and 3½ disks just next to me!

He said exactly the opposite. ¬_¬ :p

Is there something wrong in those lines?? ;)



Yes, although if a 3½ floppy would cost 2x the price of a CD, anyone would prefer to buy a floppy to save a 1Mb .doc than burning a 700 Mb CD for 1 Mb... It's like the wasted space is more worth than the money the disk costs!

:lol: Reminds me of the ol' PKZip days where I kept games (around 10 MBs typically) in a bunch of pkzipped disks. Had a whole case of 'em.
