    You tie them to the desk and withhold food and water until they reformat an entire box of Mac floppies for use in Windows.

      Fuckin’ dumbfuck 3rd grade teacher having us all do class assignments in a lab full of Macs, saving our work on Mac formatted disks, and then expecting us to also work on it at home on our parent’s Compaqs/IBMs.

      Sorry, just had a core memory unlocked.

      Wait… I could use Mac floppies in windows since, 95, I think? Maybe even back in Win3.1 days, IIRC (I seem to recall seeing the “. Resource Fork” folder back then). But my memory is fuzzy.

      I think you had to reformat to make them Bootable though?
