Ode to the diskette.

Diskettes!

Context: I'm working on a project to install new computers in schools in my area. That means I'm getting to see so many cool (and so, so many uncool) computer rooms.

I was to a specially cool school the other day, one in which I noticed something; a box full of diskettes in a shelf. I asked the person in charge about them and she said "oh, I was gonna throw them out!", so I was like "omg omg omg can i take them??"

We took a look at them together and she gave me all the diskettes that didn't contain any information of (former) students and employees. Behold!

Now, imagine my excitement when, while the principal was looking for some paperwork we had to sign, the woman in charge told the secretary she had given me those old diskettes, and the secretary rushed to her office and brought me this!

Look at it. No clue what the text written on it is supposed to mean, but i don't care. So beautiful.

Since my diskette hoard has expanded so massively (from 1 diskette to all these), purchasing an external diskette reader seemed reasonable. It arrived yesterday, and i finally put my windows 98 machine to use :D

This is only one of all those funky diskettes, I'll set more stable VMs up and test more of them!

“Este Sinte Mata Fascistas” junta a una nueva generación de grupos y solistas argentinos que aprovechan la tecnología para expresar su bronca y su rechazo, resistiendo en un país que cada día se aproxima más hacia la extrema derecha. Del synthpunk al techno, son 18 canciones que no sólo toman del punk su sonido crudo, sino también su mirada de disgusto ante un presente nefasto. Cada una con su propia personalidad tratando de incomodar a una masa anestesiada por las pantallas. Aunque pasen los milenios, el ruido y la furia siguen molestando.
