Still alive. Just very tired.

***wcTaglines: Support the helpless victims of computers.

In the archive I created of my BBS file system that's floating around there was my source code for a tagline manager in wcbasic that doesn't have a stupid add in front of it.

Might be worth looking into.

I think mine is a one-man-show for an audience unseen until my grand departure, which will then turn into a Comedy Central celebrity roast.

Always preferred Maxell media, it could take a beating more than Memorex.

Laugh, I just hauled out my commodore64 and found some memorex floppys still in shrink wrap. They work fine. LOL Back in the day I didn't have a prefered brand, just whatever was on sale that I could get. hahaha

I have six or seven boxes of Fujifilm floppies for my Apple-2.

The humour in those games was great. They still hold up today I
replayed a few of them 5 or 6 years ago and found them just as funny.

In the BBS documentary, there's an OCD guy who made built-in cabinets
in his computer room for case after case of shareware on 1.2mb floppy
disks.

WHY?

Who wants copies of every version of PC-WRITE? Nagware-enabled terminal
programs? Xtree clones? Bad Infocom clones?

Chances are by now the half-life of written-to floppy disks has passed.

I always got the no-brand disks from computer stores, the ones that come 50 or 100 to a pack, wrapped in celephane(?), no labels. Even though you ended up with a few duds, they were actually quite reliable.
