This is absolutely my experience. I was lucky enough to have a home desktop and needed to transport stuff to my university, floppy drives were the main method but so painful. Zip drives were better, but still sucked and frequently failed.

I clearly remember swapping the zip drive for a cdrw one. Far more reliable and 6x the space.

When will archeologists just admit that sometimes we don’t know the purpose of things, and say so. Maybe somebody just liked carving turtles, surely not every fucking thing ever crafted in antiquity was religious.

Not a teacher, but my mother is a retired professor.

It would absolutely work on a large percentage of students, especially the type that are so lazy they are plugging their assignment into an ai. She retired in 22 and had students that had never used a desktop computer with a mouse and keyboard, only phones, tablets, and ChromeOS laptops. Text formatting, beyond the very basics of bold and colors, were a new concept for them.

I think they are referring to the movie, which (I believe) did not have a laugh track.

If you can find it there was a DVD release of the tv series where the laugh track could be disabled. It’s so much better.

They’re just not the same for me, unfortunately. They have a place, but I prefer reading.

I just wanted to be able to read a book without (possibly) straining my neck :(

What a weird thing to say.

There have actually been three popes from Africa! Though the last one was pope from 492 to 496. Not 1492… 492.

I totally agree with you though, I just had to "uh actually’ a little because I think it’s interesting.
