I'm starting to dislike diskettes. I'm starting to REALLY dislike diskettes.

For the past five days, I've spent too much on diskettes I simply can NOT rely on anymore. I've bought 7 diskettes so far (different brands, from different stores) and all --- literally ALL --- of them have failed me. Either some PCs can't read it (regardless of OS), or Windows says "Cannot read specified device".

"Cannot read" my foot.

Oh, yes. I'm starting to HATE diskettes.

Ayt. Here's the actual blog entry. Pretty short, but an entry nonetheless.

Most technological advances go through these three stages, I suppose... The most recent ones could be the cellphone or digicam.
Stage1: when a student has (insert gadget), that means she's flaunting her wealth.
Stage2: when a student has (insert gadget), that means she's using her money wisely.
Stage3: when a student has (insert gadget), that means she's being practical.

Today, the flash drive is in Stage 3, what with diskettes deteriorating in quality (plus, PCs read them so slow, and they get broken way too fast). That's why I was literally jumping around with joy when I got me a flash drive.

Ako ngayo'y isa nang CompSci of the 21st century! ["Happy happy, joy joy~!"]

Now, if only I can get me a PDA....
