Never mind how "slow" you think it is, how about misaligning the head and making it difficult or impossible to even use a disk without readjusting it?

Back in my day, all we needed were punch cards.

quote:

John started staying late nights at the office, training his 1620 to integrate massive amounts of statistics to run baseball simulations. The game play was relatively straightforward: A “player” would insert a punch card into the mainframe and load paper into the machine’s typewriter. Then, like an autopiano, the typewriter would prompt the player to choose a roster of nine from a list of 50 players, all with short names on account of the machine’s relatively senile 20,000-memory-position data capacity — DiMaggio, Hegan, Grove, Kamm — and the 1620 would randomize the remaining players to make its own roster. Then, at about three characters a second, the computer would churn out a play-by-play baseball game.

I don't wish to derail this thread. but if you seriously claim to be old enough to have been using punch cards while my 9 year old rear end was just learning to write 6502 assembler, Mr. Regged-In-2013, then...

...on second thought, good for you and your punch cards, because I've already taken this thread far enough off topic. But you've given me a pretty good idea of how to figure out the what might be going on under the hood.

A little EQ, a touch of reverb, slap on some compression and there. That'll get your dickbutt jiggling.
