Re: Nah. We were civilized, no rodeo in the data center.
But how much does an "on" bit weigh vs an "off" bit? Does that mean that the drive needs to calculate how many bits are "on" at a particular angular section? And move some of those to other sectors as the unit is spinning at 10,000RPM?
No, that was satire.
But does anyone remember the hole punched in the 8" floppies (really floppy) to synch the read heads? There were times when those large froppy dicks would seem to wobble because of the holes. (The term "froppy dicks" was relayed by a female co-worker commenting on a non-european-descent instructor teaching a class. Does that get me out of the #MeToo toilet?)
