lost and found diskette #9482

disk label

@vga256 a powerful artefact

@britown there was also a MANSONG.WAV which turned out to be a torturous 3 minute sean morey comedy skit

@ThreeOhFour i remember my mom downloading powerpoint slides of cats doing silly things at work, and writing them to a floppy for safe keeping

@vga256 I remember goofy flash animations being passed around via burnt CDs, but the comedy animation here is what I internalize as "chain email humour" and that's where it was always found in my mind, not on an actual hard drive or backup disk :'D

@ThreeOhFour hahaha that's EXACTLY what it was too. garbage FWD: Funny!!

@vga256 I remember the EXACT person that was still sending me these in like 2012 hahaha

@ThreeOhFour lol. i can remember the very last person that sent me one too. we worked in an office together, and i got FWDs from her for *years* after i quit

@vga256 That sort of persistence is admirable. Now those same people are on Facebook, sharing things with people instead. The paradigm has shifted, but nothing truly changes.

@ThreeOhFour i never thought about it that way before, but's *totally* what facebook is

@vga256 One look at the age range demographic says it allllll...

@ThreeOhFour

@PurpleJillybeans my first time seeing it. impressive!
