USS Enterprise

Pirate Windows 95

Several years ago, I found a 3.5" floppy in an old desk, so I wrote "(My company's product) Production backup - DO NOT LOSE" on the label, and then left it on the floor in a main hallway of our office.

In my mind, it hopefully made a few people chuckle, but my real dream was that someone picked it up and tried to return it to the development team.

(This is a wrong answer since you only have a single pack. If you had several cases, you might actually be able to make a buck)

Unwrap them and open it and then put them all back so they look used. Write on the box in sharpie "Backups 1/127". Delete the critical production system at your work. When someone asks where the backups are, hand them these.

Fuck being incorrect. Buy an old AKAI sampler and make music from floppy disks libraries, I still do with my S-1100. Wrong answer would be to ritually burn them...don't.

I wonder what “limited lifetime warranty” means.

It probably means you can complain any time about a manufacturing defect, but not anything else.

Anyway, the terms should be printed somewhere on the box or in a paper inside.

Get them hard!

Abort, Retry, or Fail. But all at the same time.

Probably not the same terms as when they made the disks, but it's their terms on limited warranty now.

Also, hand the disks to anyone asking you for your email for marketing purposes. Tell them all your information is on the disk.
