That is a great observation. It reminds me of when I was recording my latest DVD special, also available on download and floppy disk.

I couldn't agree more.

Looks like I'm going to finish my christmas shopping early boys. Are the floppy disks 3 1/2 or 5 1/4?

They are 3½. We’re not monsters.

720KB LD I would hope. You need to maximise compatibility! Not all of us can afford those new fangled HD or ED drives!

You're probably thinking it's a bit suspicious seeing that the account was made 62 minutes after the post was submitted. It could be that the user just browses HN regularly, saw this post about him, and wanted to separate his comment histories from his main account.

Yes: I normally lurk on HN. But people started messaging me when this reached the top, of course. I can confirm I don’t know or have any connection with the OP.

I can share how it happened. I logged into HN today to read more about the Apple/Amazon/China news, then almost spat out my coffee when I saw Matt was #1 on Hacker News. I went to high school & university with Matt, so it felt really surreal, and I immediately tweeted Matt to tell him:

I can confirm all of this is true. I mean, I don’t know how close SyneRyder was to spitting out coffee (or even if they were drinking coffee? how deep does this go?) but everything else is a fact.
