I remember the $10 cheapy box of 10 floppy disks in the early 90s. At least two of the disks would have CRC errors on them

the ones with five pairs of disks, two of each colour? those were fun

i remember when personnel evaluation season came around and everyone was scrambling for usb floppy drives and ordering huge boxes of disks to take to the personnel evaluation board, because that was two months ago

PCs can read both capacities, and the amiga could read PC-formatted floppies so i don't know what the problem is supposed to be

The amiga kickrom couldn't read PC formatted floppies though, so when I got an old Amiga from a friend that didn't include any software I had to contact some random Amiga nerd on the internet to borrow a set of boot floppies. He immediately wanted to be best friends forever, that poo poo was scary!

in the 90s i used to download really low quality wav files of simpsons sound clips on a 28.8k modem, and save them to floppy disks. once time i was bragging to my friend's older brother about it and i made a freudian slip "I have 5 dicks full of simpsons sounds". many laughs were had at my expense.

hope you enjoyed my floppy disk story

"We have this notion that if you're poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids."

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

Usually the 5 1/4 has a latch to press down a spring clamp.
