I am trying to imagine how long it would take to install something from 2000 floppies... a whole day? And most of the night too :D

Our first PC was so old that it had a 5.25" drive initially. The more modern 3.5" drive was considered a luxury in those times, and a CD-ROM drive was pretty much science-fiction. The 5.25 disks were a funny thing - bigger in size, yet with cconsiderably smaller capacity, the most common model had a mere 360 KB... less than half the capacity of the 3.5 disk (1.44 MB).

Just two more days and the year is over for me. I had the foresight to take Thursday and Friday off. Playing Doom 3 these days, because it's a tradition of sorts. I played it for the first time in December 2005, and so the very idea of this game became forever tied to the month of December in my mind. Curiously, I can't remember which month I associate with X-Wing the most, but it's most probably in the summer. It definitely involves hot weather.
