My first CD burner was as big as a small cereal box, and cost something like $350. I burned the shite out of stolen songs

I'm incredibly efficient at post staking via All Posts, Topics, and Google "Tigerdroppings [username] [something that will give a clue to how to identify you irl]".

I went to HS with your fb friend Jodi. She's a good woman. And when you wanna flip to the dark side I'm sure your future step Father in Law has a job lined up for ya.

Oh it's not surprising. I've actually said quite a few times on the PT that the only reason I haven't been doxed yet is because no one gives a shite

She is, indeed.

You lost me on this one. I genuinely don't know who you might be referring to, as my fiancee doesn't have a step father

Ah yeaaa the relationship connection on People finder whiffed there. It's her aunt(or just someone with same last name and close in age) who married a local PI attorney. Her mom has an unusual name, right? See I'm good. just made a booboo. I didn't match prior addresses(that indicates family duh).

And I wouldn't ever dox anyone. I'm not anonymous but definitely respect others right to privacy here b/c some real assholes lurk and do bad shite to people. I just stalk outta curiosity sometimes especially when bored at work.

You’re likely talking about her aunt/uncle, but I would need initials to confirm. Actually, it could be two different aunts/uncles...

As for being doxed, I wouldn’t personally mind, but I’ve always tried to avoid it so that what I say here is only reflective of my positions and not attributed to people/entities close to me. And even then, I sometimes start flirting with flying too close to the sun...

You're wrong though. The disk inside the casing is floppy, they just came up with a more protective design.


Quit your bitching, both of you. You are both right. People called the 3.5" disks "hard" disks because the casing wasn't "floppy", even though it was technically incorrect to refer to them as hard disks.

Piano plays hard disks... don't know what it would cost to upgrade to modern technology.

Not positive on your piano but floppy drives in pc's can easily be replaced with USB deck. I did this to an old pc about 10 yrs ago to add USB ports.
It's simple and cheap but again I'm not sure how easy it is two swap out a drive on a piano. Start with a Google of "Floppy to USB emulator"

They look something like this.
Amazon example

Do you have PianoDisk? over $5k probably. We just paid $8500. Better off just finding another player piano and selling the old

We don't play it that often. Truth be told...it's just a piece of big furniture to me. I would just as soon donate it to a family member or organization rather than moving it again when I retire.
