Something terrible happens to all computers and they all downgrade poll.
20 replies, posted
Some terrible event occurs and you have to live with:
16 Colors,
800x600 Resolution,
Floppy Disks, [highlight]These only hold 1.44 MB[/highlight]
or 512 MB RAM,
Which would you rather have?
Example: If you voted 16 Colors, your computer would stay the same, except it would be downgraded to 16 colors.
or if you voted floppy disks, Compact Disks would be replaced by Floppy Disks.
Personally, there's something magical about 16 Colors.
16 Colors, audio is where it's at.
If I dropped down to 800x600 Id still have a pretty pimping machine and the lower resolution would guarantee high frame rate.
floppy disks no contest. I've got so many of my old games on floppies I just couldn't live without the drives
Floppy disks.
voted floopy disks
didnt understand nor read the whole thread.
I don't entirely understand it, with the Floppy Disks option it'd mean that it's the only transfer medium, or we'd still stay with high internet connections?

we're just given floppies obviously, for some reason OP thinks that's a downgrade

why do you feel it's necessary to include this
also CDs (and even DVDs) were common long before the fall of floppies

that doesn't make sense though CDs were fairly common in computers in the early 90s when floppies were still the undisputed king, and look at that floppies still lived on another 15
edit:
hell even in the mid-late 80s CD drives in computers weren't unheard of

I said nothing about time.
Floppys all the way man. all but one of my computers has a drive and when I wanted to install GTA:IV it would only be 10,840 disks.

who cares you're implying that floppies and cds can't coexist
I should have added these instead of the 3.2in

The best floppies because they were actually floppy!
All floppy disks were floppy if you took them out of their casing.
floopy disks
Floppies because I can live without CD's, I just use them to install my operating system.
Floppies
Floppy is a weird word, feels almost obscene in the mouth
