    THAT WAS FRAKIN BRILLIANT!

    But then again I’m a sucker for the march, best Williams piece ever imho.

  2. Icesnake

    Awesome.

  3. GoofyMonkey

    The way it should be played from now on… Love it.

    I’m sitting here laughing out loud… because it hit me about 2/3 of the way through how absolutely over the top geek that is. I can’t imagine anyone not fully entrenched in nerdship looking at this and going either “That is totally stupid” or “meh”. I feel at home.

    I have to admit, I’m a little suspicious. Something in the sound seems vaguely…organic? Like a beatboxer or something.

    In any case, if this is real, then that’s very very cool. Nicely done.

    Watching this i can only wonder where the world would be today without the Internet.

    Someone knows way too much about the harmonics of a floppy drive. Good job.

  12. Turnoff

    How did they come up with that?…. to much speer* time i guess…

  13. Lost Prophet

    I too was in awe at how over the top nerdy this was, but it just felt so right!

  14. Techgeekgirl

    I think about halfway in the sheer, unadulterated nerdiness of this kicked in, and the fact that I was trying to figure out if I could make a floppy drive do that just reinforced my own absurd level of geek.

    Best thing on the internet all day.

  15. Shaymus22

    MY GOD I LOVE THE INTERNET!

  16. chatterbox

    The most ironic thing about this is they’re just amplifying the sounds the drive made during the Windows 3.1 installation. :) (note: snarkiness alert)

  17. Doctorsoul

    Can somebody make me a floppy drive with a midi-in port?

  18. That guy in the corner.

    ……not exactly sure what’s going on here or how the sound’s being made XD

  19. RaDeus

    I don’t say this alot when it comes to the Internet, BUT THAT WAS FUCKING AWESOME!

    made me laugh long after it ended 8)

  20. Sushi Ninja

    the sad part is how it sounds better than something coming off the atari 2600

  21. Tayrus

  22. wonder6oy

    wow …I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time!!

    Holy fuck!

    It’s fake. I used those things for many a year and some of the harmonics plain do not come from that device period. Especially the higher pitched. Still pretty geeky.
