Back in the days of VCRs - hit the eject button - and out slide these colourful little felt finger puppet faces - the elephant looked particularly surpirized. To my 3 year old son that slot was the most sensible place to store them. And I got a free puppet show.
And the next week I bought a DVD player.
A colleague of mine learned how good Nintendo support was because his 3 year old had filled his Wii’s disk drive slot with loose change.
Under warranty, replaced. Nintendo is a great company.
When I owned a 1989 Thunderbird Super Coupe, its CD player was not a tray but slot that automatically pulled in disks when fed. The owner’s manual said it’s “not recommended” to use the smaller than standard size CD’s, but I fed it one. And soon had to discover how to remove the drive from the dashboard and open it to take the disk out. Don’t try that either.
Do we know of frozen pizzas inserted into 12-inch floppy drives?
But I want to keep the ham. It’s the spam I want to remove.
Could be a typo or @groonkame could be talking about Sharp’s 2.5" floppy’s.
In the early days there were a LOT of different floppy sizes until things settled down on the 5 1/4 and 3 1/2 versions we all “fondly” remember
Me too!
Reminds me a bit of Look Around You.
Why would you want to remove it?
Don’t you want 4096 slices of deliciousness?
My son used to put loose change into the seat belt slot on my Jeep. One time I put the belt on and it locked forever since the void spaces were solid coinage and the spring steel could not move. It took over 15 minutes to work enough slack into the system that I could slide feet-first onto the ground. Had to replace the entire seat belt.
