    Now the only 3.5" floppy I have left is the promo Amiga calculator that Commode Door put out back when I owned my computer store. They sold

    Ok, you lost me... Amiga calculator? Exactly what was that?

    I gave you a link - the Amiga item looked identical except for the
    Amiga and Commode Door branding.

    Here's the link again: https://tinyurl.com/I-FLOPPY-BM

    Ok, took a look and now I see what you're talking about. Brain fart here, I was thinking it was a program or something... better go
    grab another cup of coffee before I hit the keyboard again. :)

    Try to miss the keyboard with the coffee. Tune for maximum smoke is not
    a desirable thing. Bv)=

    I dug my little 3.5" calculator out the hell box yesterday .... guess
    what? It still works. One of my brother's grandkids asked me what that
    was.

    So I explained that it was a calculator built to look like a floppy
    disk - and we were off to the races. He's never seen storage devices
    other than USB sticks or micro-SD cards (in his smart-ass phone).

    ... Why is "bra" singular and "panties" plural?

    hahahahaha, no not at all, damages the keyboard..triggers the smoke alarm and worst case scenario the automatic sprinklers come on and ruin everything. :)

    :) yeah but it's amazing just exactly how much info, pictures and whatever you can get on one of those sd cards or thumb drives compared to your little floppies drive.

    I actually live on Dirksen Parkway. A five lane bidirectional thoroughfare
    with a centre turn lane.

    On street parking is *NOT* allowed anywhere along its five mile length.
