Truckload of Disks

Glitch once bought approximately 28,000 5.25“ double-sided, double-density floppy diskettes. Users claiming they need a floppy replacement product because it's so hard to get disks are linked this image:

Bandwidth

The approximate bandwidth of the truckload of disks, assuming 360K formatting and a speed of 63 MPH, was approximately 659 KB/sec. Not bad for naturally aspirated!

Usage

The above pictured disks have been used in the production run of the following games:

Damaged Cartons

The boxes of disks damaged by the ratchet straps are sold at an extra premium price. Being battle-hardened media, they're less likely to give up when things get tough. Nevermind that white box!

Truck

The truck is a 1985 Ford F-350 with 6.9L naturally aspirated International Harvester V8 diesel and Borg-Warner T19 manual transmission. Glitch bought it for $1800 in 2015, drove it out from under a scrap heap full of bees, put fresh batteries and tires on, and moved from NY to VA with it. It's usually on the farm.
