I needed to use a 3.5" floppy disk today at work.

You probably also had to use mud as a communications medium, which kind of makes floppy disks look advanced.

Nah, mud is actually a lot more difficult, and is predated by floppy disks. Don't mistake 'slow' for 'primitive'.

I don't know, the Sumerians communicated with mud. I think floppy disks are strictly 20th century.

Yes, but that was static mud. We use flowing, dynamic mud. Absolutely, totally different.

The next time you're looking for a project name, I suggest something to do with cuneiform.
