I guess I'm probably older than you then :) I used to have one, I'll see if I can find a picture.



Something like that, but with 5.25" disks. It was pretty common before hard disks were cheap enough for consumer PCs - you had your software disk in one drive and your data disk in the other. It also let you copy things which were too big to fit in memory (which was pretty much everything).

e: this one!



I miss those drives with the big locking levers.

I dunno, he did a pretty good job of capturing Farage's jowls.


I'm not entirely sure why Prince William in a wig is representing the Lib Dems though.

drat, that's actually pretty clever. Of course, the cartoon is slightly ruined by the fact that there is no actual joke, groups like this are genuinely needed.

And Bell draws people with poo poo all over themselves occasionally or despots swimming around in pools of blood. Sometimes both at the same time. I think Times guy is on a roll, personally.
