Happy Thanksgiving?

So, how was everyones Thanksgiving?
I thought so.

Mine was great, thanks for asking.

We didn't do much, but that was nice anyway. We just sat around at home and at my dads hotel. We got to go swimming in the nice pool that they have there. It was all good fun. We watched the Macy's Thanksgiving parade march all around downtown.

So, look at what arrived in the mail the other day:



Any guesses as to what it is?

No?

Well, here is a hint:



That's right. It's a HUMUNGO floppy drive. A Commodore VIC-1541. It takes floppy discs that are 5 1/4 inches across. And the sad part is: that little floppy disc, the one we all remember from the '90s, actually has more capacity than the larger 5 1/4 inch ones. The big boys actually can only hold about 360K, while the normal ones that we are all familiar to can hold 1.44MB, or 1474.56K. I hope that i will be able to find some programs on floppies which i can play games or something eventually... Christmas ;)

Whatever.

See you next week or something.
