More OT, I do miss the old floppy noises and esp. the old HD noises.  I remember the BBS I ran on my old A3000 - I could tell what area of the BBS people were using based on the noises.  Fidonet crashmails used to have a very distinct sound, heh.  Knew instantly when the mailer/mail tosser was working just off the HD noises.  Now my SAM 440 BBS rig has a Patriot SSD in it, a silent PSU and no cooling fans at all, and no floppy and I sorta miss the drive and dialup modem sounds.  :/

I don't miss the slow floppy speeds, and that's putting it mildly, heh.

I am sorry, once again, Magnetic - if it seems as though I am just as bad as others in my treatment of you.  It's no more right me doing this than the Franko hate fest that seems to go on, but man does it get frustrating, you know?

Super bright, super helpful people like yourself going on these wild tangents at any given chance when someone they dislike posts anything, it just gets old.

Nothing personal - just sorta gets when I see guys I have a fair bit of respect for take cheap pot shots at people.
