You know? Your incessant ability to be present on EVERY single post is becoming quite annoying. And to top it off, your asinine comments are getting VERY old. Go away already!
Hello, TiredOfYou! I understand that there are some people who don’t like me and my comments. I was taught early on that no one can please everyone. It is great that you took the time to comment, so please feel free to offer up suggestions as you see fit! Thank you and have a good day!
Technically, you’re correct. But you see, teh Pooba… I had just assumed that since TiredOfYou had clearly stated that he/she is tired of my comments, that would imply that he/she has also grown tired of the word “great”. My intention was to lessen the word usage in my comment to him/her in the hopes that he/she would not resent the GREATNESS as much.
Oh the memories! I had Encarta 95 back in the day… The article quality was terrible tbh (thou shalt not cite!!), though in terms of convenience it beat the hell out of my shelf of Brittanicas. And, I liked Mindmaze better than Hover!!! XD
Like half the stuff on this crap site, it’s photoshopped and fake. The Failblog staff doesn’t care: if they actually bothered to doublecheck it, they wouldn’t have any material to post.
They needed some kind of image editing software to make it. Photoshop is quickly becoming a generic term for this.
It doesn’t matter if they edited a photo of a disk to replace the label with a fake one, or if they printed out a fake label and stuck it on the disk, then took a photo of the disk.
What are you talking about? You want to crane your head around to read a label ? The top of the floppy is the edge that doesn’t have any sliding metal door. To put the label 180° around would mean that you’d have to be standing behind the disk to read its back (which would be the front as this one is correctly shown). Unfortunately I still have a collection of about 40 old commercial floppies and their labels are similarly oriented to this.
Don’t feed the trolls Pandora. I’m sure it’s a spoof disk someone made to torment classmates. Most people don’t bother photoshoping something that can just as easily be faked. For the record, Microsoft did not put pictures on their disks usually until the 90s.
I also own many disks with labels oriented either way.
“Millions and millions of websites on one 3 1/2″ disk”. A 3 1/2″ disk could contain at most 1.44 MB, so even if every website was a single byte in size, you wouldn’t be able to get “millions and millions” on the disk.
Omfg! I love it!! I would totally buy it for my Dad who is retarded when it comes to anything involving computers and the internet! He would think it was the real thing and proudly show it off to all his friends… bwhahaahaa!!
doing tech support at a university in the late 90′s we had no end of students who would come up to the IT help counter with a floppy disk and insist, in all seriousness, that we “put the internet on this disk”.
A lot of people were like this in the 90′s. But, 1.44MB is not the largest for floppy disks. The ones Microsoft used for Windows 95 install was 1.68MB and there was the 2.88MB ones, though uncommon. These don’t count the LSL and supper floppy disks.
Whats this? 1990?
No. It is 2011. It is March, and it is a great year so far!
Great is right! you won’t hear any complaining from me!
Oops! LOL! I goofed on my name! Not great!
a great year that is sure to get greater, now that winter is over.
I hope you all have a great year!
Shoot, isn’t that called now called a “Smartphone”?

Don’t you mean “have a GREAT day?” You’re slacking!

The copyright says 2005. That has to be fake.
Okay, so I’m Mr. Obvious. The guy who made that should have made the date 1993 or so.
Lawl 1993… Gates didn’t hear about the Internet until well into 1995. Tech visionary, my left nut.
Thanks! I’m now busy cleaning the coffee off my screen thanks to this great observation!
Well played….
with, please.
Classic!
Yeah, whatever.
This one is fake, but I remember things like this back in the day on CD-ROM
In reality, Microsoft had Encarta, which was kind of like Wikipedia on CD.
Oh the memories! I had Encarta 95 back in the day… The article quality was terrible tbh (thou shalt not cite!!), though in terms of convenience it beat the hell out of my shelf of Brittanicas. And, I liked Mindmaze better than Hover!!! XD
I had Encarta 98 and loved Mindmaze!
Except for the part where it can be edited by idiots.
Both can — and were — edited by idiots. Wikipedia just has some non-idiot editors too, that’s the difference.
Fake as boring can be,
I’m only posting this because i’m shocked this BS is allowed to be posted here
U mad?

You do know you don’t need photoshop to make a floppy label right?

Either way, that had to “photoshop” a fake label.
Faker should’ve changed set the copyright to early 1990′s, and there shouldn’t be an ® on Internet. Otherwise, I was amused for about .00012 seconds.
I don’t know, maybe in a Flash drive with dongle technology?
HEEHEE. Dongle.
This is fake, of course. Not particularly funny, either.
Also, the copyright says 2005.
And the label is upside down!! ‘shopper has never even used a floppy??

touche
best show ever
Whoever makes the titles misspelled jack.
Clicky my name for a real look at the internet.
FAKE FAKE FAKE
Wow ya think?
“Millions and millions of websites on one 3 1/2″ disk”. A 3 1/2″ disk could contain at most 1.44 MB, so even if every website was a single byte in size, you wouldn’t be able to get “millions and millions” on the disk.
Exactly what I was thinking lol
I can write a small program, which fits on 1.44MB, which can generate endless websites
infinite internet! u jelly?
It’s compressed. They’re using a very efficient compression algorithm.
Omfg! I love it!! I would totally buy it for my Dad who is retarded when it comes to anything involving computers and the internet! He would think it was the real thing and proudly show it off to all his friends… bwhahaahaa!!
I love you Dad, no really, you’re awesome!
“The internet in your pocket”. Sounds more like Apple than Microsoft.
doing tech support at a university in the late 90′s we had no end of students who would come up to the IT help counter with a floppy disk and insist, in all seriousness, that we “put the internet on this disk”.
And someone probably did this as a spoof on a classmate. I know I would.
are the internet police in the jaz discs? cos i need them,dialing 999
Cinco’s Innernette is a vastly superior product. I bet Microsoft’s version doesn’t even offer over 100 songs on one disk!
Fail for shopper not knowing the difference between a DISK and a DISC.
ONE FREE INTERNET!!!!
on a disk
A lot of people were like this in the 90′s. But, 1.44MB is not the largest for floppy disks. The ones Microsoft used for Windows 95 install was 1.68MB and there was the 2.88MB ones, though uncommon. These don’t count the LSL and supper floppy disks.
Finally. Good thing I still have a computer with a floppy drive.
It’s shoped you can tell by the pixles
Where can I get the 5.25″ version?
Totally ripped off from Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job. The Innernette!
