The story of the floppy...

Post by cwallace »

...and proof as to how frickin' small this town is....:)

I was sitting in one of my A+ classes this week and we got to a point that we needed to use a floppy disk for some simple DOS level programming...

Well the instructor grabbed the huge box of floppy disk that have been abandoned and/or left from other classes and such...well he starts tossing them around to student and he throws one across the room at me...I bounce it a few times...bobble it a few more and it finally comes to rest in my hand...

I read the label...it reads:

Jambrea Gaff

So...how frickin' small is this town???? lol...

Apparently - Small enough that we still use floppy discs. . . . ;-)

The really perplexing part of this story is that Garr HAS a wife.
