And this... well, this is quite simply the most awesome thing ever. A ZX Spectrum playing music and emulating VOICE... truly a work of genius (and someone who has far too much time on their hands):

Music starts just over a minute in (the first bit is simply to show it's really loading and running a program).

It looks amazing, people are so innovative. I remember one of my friends used to create small programs in C that would play music when it was run. I don't know how he did that but the results were always amazing.

Wow! Is this the future of music? How's this even possible? Has science gone that far? haha. Kidding aside, these are very creative. I wish I were the one who came up with this. Nah-who am I kidding. I can't even do HTML properly. LOL.

Hahaha, that's awesome. I didn't knew that you can do that with floppy drives. Geez, I remember we used them in schools up until '08 lol

Well, they use old PCs in schools, so floppy disks were still in use. I mean, 3.5mbs are enough to save couple of word files and things like that, and they were pretty cheap, so during a test we would just give the floppy disk to the professor and he would evaluate our work/test or whatever we were doing. Damn, I miss them, gonna install a floppy drive in my PC now xD

You just gave me an idea to check the stores if they're selling floppy discs still. I don't recall seeing them in stores for a while now, maybe they've quit selling them.

Wow the picture of the guy with the floppy is really funny.

I enjoyed those pictures.

 

I feel sorry for the next generation that will have no idea what floppy drives are !

Ah just seeing the words floppy drive brings back some good memories haha. I always liked floppy discs, they felt satisfying to use, certainly more so than thumb drives or SD cards. I mean comeon, they had an eject button. Now the only time you see that is with CD/DVDs, it doesn't look as cool. ;)
