I made an astounding computer-related discovery

[EyeMWing]

I inserted a floppy drive into my drive - the entire machine INSTANTLY locked hard.

Gnashed the reset button after a "WTF, that's not supposed to happen" and the boot sequence started - NONE of my hard drives detected. Rather than requesting a boot disk, the entire screen immediately changed to randomly flashing characters and the sound card making demented squeals.

After freaking out and trying literally every hardware solution I could, I noticed that there was a disk in my floppy drive - and immediately yanked it out and hit reset. Everything. Worked. PERFECTLY.

Needless to say, the disk was IMMEDIATELY doused in lighter fluid and ignited.

In my testosterone filled rush, I neglected to take the camera. In it's stead, I give you
HIGH SCHOOL CHEERLEADERS!

What's a floppy disk?

 

[CrackRabbit]

I think your floppy drive needs a catholic preist.

exactly why you should have put it on ebay.. You probably could have made $200 with that disk.

English teacher insists on floppy disk copies of everything. She's too stupid to handle CDs. I attempted to explain to her that I didn't HAVE a floppy drive, but she threatened to flunk me so I plunked down the $5.

 

[jagec]

Seriously, you gotta sell that sort of stuff on ebay with a humorous story. Money++

This thread is a flop...

Should've handed her a 5 1/4 floppy or even an 8 inch.

 

[Mr N8]

Looks like you need a flash drive.

So... what exactly was the discovery?
