What? I thought it meant you could only save to floppy. I've
got all my work saved on
1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,0000,0000,000 of the
fuckers.

I never thought about it, but the floppy is a pretty strong
icon in my mind. That hard drive makes me think "acces drive
c:"

I like the floppy icon.

It's pretty interesting. There are lots of icons in modern
day that makes no sense.

It's an easily recognizable symbol and we're used to it
