My computer is running slow.

Maybe I should change it?

  

Mi ordenador va muy lento.

¿Debería de cambiarlo?

The three-inch Compact Floppy Disk. Amdek was a big vendor of Compact Floppy drives for the popular U.S. 8-bits (Apple II and Atari, anyway).

 

I grabbed such a drive and a box of blank Compact Floppies for cheap back in the late 80s for an Apple IIe of mine. It plugged into the standard Disk ][ controller and offered 140K per side (they are "flippy").

 

These are at least twice as thick as today's (well...yesterday's?) 3.5-inch microfloppies.

From the time when Alan Sugar's Amstrad actually seemed to make things.

Mistigram: this #AMSCII (#ASCIIart for the #AmstradCPC) screen of a rampaging mummified corpse was drawn for a contest by @illarterate and included in the spooky MIST1022 artpack collection released one year ago this month.

Bruce Lee and Zorro from Datasoft were very successful platform games. They are both my favorite Jump-'n'-Run games for the C64 :)
