Sorry. Seems like forever since I've used a 3.5" floppy. Maybe 10-11 years ago? And those 5.25" floppies must have died in the late 80s. I'm just kind of surprised Hasbro didn't give him a more modern laptop instead of that old clunker.

I remember reading a news story about the production of the last 3.5" floppy. That was about six months ago, IIRC.

No, no worries. But yeah, I did use them back through elementary and middle school, though that was likely because the computers there were somewhat outdated anyway.

A $70 vynsane.com moderator.

O yes, o yes indeed.

No kidding, I ran back to the dolls (where my wife and daughter were), holding him above my head. When I got about twenty feet away, I shouted, "ME GRIMLOCK!!" (It was a pretty deserted store.)

HAHA, that's awesome.

i received three LEGO sets in the mail today. a guy on another LEGO forum heard me complaining how i had missed out on the set robo attack and picked it up for me. barnes and noble had a 40% off any single 'toys and games' item, which included the LEGO prince of persia line (which i'm interested in for 40% off or better) but the discount would cause me to have to pay for shipping (they have the same order $25 and get free shipping deal as amazon) so i added another small PoP set to get the free shipping. got fight for the dagger and desert attack - my main reason for being interested in the PoP sets at all is as an augmentation to the indiana jones sets. i never got a sallah, and by god i'm going to make some of these figures into him.

I got a shitload today, mostly for Anarky Jr's birthday and Christmas:

Barbie Joan Jett (was $10 cheaper at tru.com, so I took the other back to WM)
Transformers Movie Seaspray (who has classic styling, even if he's oversized)
GIJoe Rise of Cobra Crimson Neo-Viper (to get free shipping on the above two)
Barbie Elvis (Jailhouse Rock)
Barbie Speed Racer & Trixie
3 Barbie girls
JLU Batman with "Wonder Pig" (the Mattel Toy Shop near us finally didn't suck, so we got great deals on all the above stuff)
GIJoe Pursuit of Cobra Cobra Commander (I've got two, so I'm done on whatever I use him for)

She's getting a combo Disney Princess/Batman party. We're making a cake that'll have figurines of Tiana, Ariel, Sleeping "Too Goddamn Boring For Anyone To Remember Her Name" Beauty, Snow White, Cinderella, and Belle, with Batman riding in the carriage.

Bought 4 of the SW figures last weekend and got the other 4 yesterday. The only other thing out now that I wanted to get is Jabba.

Got the A-Team van for $6.75 and a Prince of Persia figure for $2. The Prince of Persia guy will be a background goon for Jabba.

got the Mark V (suitcase) armor 6" iron man figure at WM yesterday, while looking for LEGO deals. i was psyched to see it, but it's the weakest of the three, with less articulation or range of movement.

I got a MOTUC MossMan with the fresh pine scent of justice!

A DC Public Enemies Major Force figure I won off ebay arrived today. Now I just need to find cheap Black Lightning and Superman and Batman, or perhaps just the Brimstone CnC arms they came with.

i received my second prize from that LEGO contest i entered last week, and have bought 32 Collectible Minifigures from series 2.
