@NanoRaptor I’ve been dragging this around with me for the last forty years. I’m afraid the disks are looooooong gone.

@CaptainFlab Oooooh! would you be able to measure its dimensions, and take some reasonably straight-on photos of all six sides? I'd LOVE photos of how it's manufactured , say opened up and showing the folds and creases on the edges.

I haven't seen enough of one of the real thing to get an idea just how it's put together!

Only if it's not a big stress of course :)

@NanoRaptor Not quite how I remember the Office installer. As I recall that was closer to 30-something disks?

@NanoRaptor I was always sad about this aspirational 90s box art, like I really wanted to jack into the matrix and just experience the joy of bicycling as Bobby McFerrin meant me to, ya know? Or load up a fantasy game floppy disk and be transported inside Literally Shrek. I guess my 12 year old brain was still taking promises literally

Maybe that's what nostalgia is, reminiscing about the aesthetics from when we still drank the koolaid

@wilbr I've had thoughts about that recently.

Companies aren't our friends, at all. Do not love the corporation, whether a workplace or one that produces a thing you need or desire. That puts you at risk of exploitation in one way or another.

The past though, I think that's fair game. Whether for a time we were treated well, or even still are, despite some being screwed over early on, the promises not broken in the past stay that way.

The apple, spectrum, commodore of the past cannot hurt us.
