Digital Archaeology: Codex (Floppy Disk) #8 (part 20)
I've been splitting up the contents of this disk (descriptively labeled “File Disk”) since it contains a number of documents, some of which are pretty long. A 5.25" floppy disk can still hold an impressive amount of info when it is just text. (see the previous parts here: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19).
Every time I see those original screenshots, I have to chuckle, because the very top of the second says "Illegal command." Like, what are you doing to this disk, dude? :D
Also, I know it was the 1980's, but I'm surprised a piece like this even had to be written. "Don't have sex with your emotionally-vulnerable patients" seems like Psychology 101-level common sense. The difference between 'therapist' and 'the rapist' is a single space.
That particular pic is a file list taped to the back of the disk jacket. Not sure what they were trying to do by executing "file disk" (list a directory I guess). My guess is they were mixing up Delphi commands with DOS commands.
5.5% seems like a high number though maybe it shouldn't be surprising. I wonder what it would be today?
I will be featuring it in my weekly #technology and #science curation post for the @minnowsupport project and the Tech Bloggers' Guild! The Tech Bloggers' Guild is a new group of Steem bloggers and content creators looking to improve the overall quality of our niche.
Wish not to be featured in the curation post this Friday? Please let me know. In the meantime, keep up the hard work, and I hope to see you at the Tech Bloggers' Guild!
