it's weird. I've used floppy disks like 10 times today, and optical disks like twice. I'm having WAY more trouble getting a modern optical drive to behave than all the floppy disks!

@foone Reboost for "it's weird" and the weird thing isn't that you've been using floppies all day. Also wtaf when you say optical I assume you mean CDRs but please, this resists contextual disambiguation?

@tekhedd just regular CD-ROMs, actually. I'm trying to read a CD-ROM and I only got 72% of the way through and then my apparently exploded and I can't get it working again

also due to an error in copy-pasting a command between computers, I attempted to eject one of my hard drives instead of the CD-ROM tray

thankfully it wasn't able to shove a spinning-rust disk out of my case

@foone oh that's not right. CDR is hardly archaic!All the crap you work with and *this* is what breaks? That's delightful. I mean from here it is from where you're standing it must be really frustrating. ;)

I assume, at least. I'm using this computer remotely (it's in my office & I'm currently bedridden), so it's possible if I go and check it I'll find a drive dangling from a data cable, amidst the shattered glass of the case

@foone That would make for a fun malware for datacenters - HddEject0r9000.

@fooneAt the risk of asking something stupid : what possible reason is there to eject a cd from a remote computer?

@SvenGeier the drive wasn't working properly, and I was hoping an eject-reinsert would fix it
