Sweet heavenly mother of all things green and good: Salma Hayek is in SA having an affair with a hippo!

If only I could make hippo sounds

Lol and I remember when those replaced 1.44 floppies, they were awesome and cutting edge in those days.

Lol and I remember when those replaced 1.44 floppies, they were awesome and cutting edge in those days.

as a stickler for facts:

Floppies were 5 1/4 inches and capacity was 360kb (when I started playing with computers) and later their capacity increased to 1.2 mb

 

Floppies were replaced by 3.5 inch stiffies. These were 720kb initially, but later on 1.44mb

 

Around the time USB disks came out a 2.88mb stiffy was available, but for obvious reasons it never took off. My first USB disk had a capacity of 16mb!

 

I used to have a old (relic) 8 inch floppy disk which I kept at my office desk, but lost it during a move

"The oval-shaped "Orsos Island" has been designed to combine the mobility of a yacht with the comfort of a house. It offers six bedrooms spread over three floors and 1,000 square meters -- nearly four tennis courts -- worth of luxury living space.

Although it doesn't come with an actual tennis court..."

 

No, really, what's the point if it doesn't even have a tennis court?

speaking of yachts, this puppy is currently docked at the V&A.

[Sepia]

She was in Durban.  Checked her out and she has a flipping sea plane on deck!

Biggest Genoa ever sewn.

Biggest problem with the building was finding sheets (had to be manufactured) to handle this load.
