For a moment I was thinking those 5 1/4 inch floppies and how do you make a starship out of that, but then I remembered that all diskettes are called 'floppies' in English.

In Finnish we have 'lerppu' (5 1/4 inch), 'korppu' (3,5 inch) and then the rare ones 'l�rppy' (8 inch) and 'kirppu' (2 inch). 😉

There must be loads of stuff you can make out of a 'lerppu' (5 1/4 inch floppy) since it's much more flexible.

btw I was not aware of l�rppy's or kirppu's 😃 I know 'romppu' of course, the cd-rom. And they can be recycled as kind of scarecrows or scarethrushes (you know the bird that eats all the berries?): just hang them in trees and the flicker of the sun in them will scare away the unwanted birds 😃

Actually 'kirppu' was a 3 inch diskette that was used in old Amstrad PCW 8256/8512 computers. See http://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?st=1&c=189

I think those 8 inch floppies were used in those mainframes and minicomputers during 80's.

hosting has been terminated permanently due to extreme load.
in other words: it's not here, and it never will be again, so stop trying to load it.

you may want to try these mirrors, they have what you seek.

oh and btw, if you think this is rude, consider the
fact that asciipr0n has been hosted for free on a box
at my work. they have consistently overutilized the
bandwidth to a personal server with no consideration
whatsoever for the others hosted here. the slashdotting
was the final straw.

fact is, a 'thank you' would have been nice, but the folks
at asciipr0n have never even introduced themselves to me.

you're welcome.
