    You tie them to the desk and withhold food and water until they reformat an entire box of Mac floppies for use in Windows.

      Fuckin’ dumbfuck 3rd grade teacher having us all do class assignments in a lab full of Macs, saving our work on Mac formatted disks, and then expecting us to also work on it at home on our parent’s Compaqs/IBMs.

      Sorry, just had a core memory unlocked.

        Not in the 3.1 or 95 days if I recall correctly. That wasn’t fully unlocked until windows 98.

        Around 2002-3 Mac dropped support for floppies even on machines with a floppy drive installed.

        Which led to some pretty fun times when I needed to transfer files from a non-networked stand alone apple machine that my idiot coworker had upgraded the OS on without checking the specs.
