Never saw it in that colour, I had the beige one.

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God? - Epicurus -

I reinvented the wheel for my science project.
It makes me wonder if my hypothesis that "something happens" when rubbing two sticks together would win over your experiment in the science fair.

Remember that thingy on the left?
IIRC that one set me back back 400$.
For the younger among us: it's a floppy drive, not an entire case.

Don't be too harsh on the kid.. I remeber my 11th grade Chemistry project. My great experiment: test what commercial products made ice melt the quickest. Yeah.
Needless to say, I wasn't the top science student. I could understand concepts, but I was never creative enough to think of good projects. I salute anee for being creative enough to come up with this scheme.I'm about to get aroused from watching the pokemon and that's awesome. - PekkaComment

Started out with that (and in that color), got the much cooler floppy drive later.Originally posted by Ted Striker
I don't remember the floppy drive being $400 at that point, though.No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.Comment

Would 200$ make more sense?
I'm pretty sure it was as expensive as the C64 itself though.Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

For some reason, $150 keeps going through my mind...and I believe the C64 was cheaper than the floppy drive.No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.Comment

The C64 was $600 when it came out in 1982, but we didn't get one until 1987. I bought a Tandy 1000SX that same year for $800 including monitor, so it had to be considerably cheaper than that.No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.Comment

It appears that the C64 was down to $150 by 1987.No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.Comment

A couple of years ago there was someone pushing VHS as a backup medium. I would assume they got some decent density on it.Originally posted by Geronimo
how about storing data on a VHS tape? Audio has been done but I don't recall that VHS ever was.
Too bad for them that the price per gig of drives plummeted and people started using RAID, or just copied drive to drive as back up.
Oh, and then there were burners.(\__/)

Thanks for the advice . And reinventing the wheel ( metaphorically ) is part of the learning process , you know . . . . . . . . .Comment
