I drank disgusting levels of mountain dew as a teenager, and have sworn off all pop and caffeine when I became an adult. Except for chocolate sometimes...
How's everyone enjoying the blasts of polar vortex winds? hehe

Haha nice! It doesn't take quite that many, they hold 1.44mb, or 1.68mb if you circular formatting or whatever it's called, so the drive reads it like a cd instead of stepping between each track.
I remember back in the days of Pentiums (first-gen) I would transfer Napster MP3's from a public library with cable internet, split onto floppies, carried in a bag on my bike handlebars (like 40), home to my old hand-me-down computer with no internet. At 3-5 floppies (and 8? minutes of floppy copying) per song.... I had to REALLY like each song I copied!

That's also how I learned about bad sectors, how to detect and mark them, and started using dos JAR compression for it's superior error-correction info adding to each split archive. Most of the MP3s didn't receive pops and clicks of corruption!
