Very cute floppy disk commission by @Pheebs! Drawing just small enough to fit on a floppy, and then an imitation of it on the label!

Also have to demonstrate on at least some old hardware, and at the moment this is all I have that has any actual graphics. And might as well crank some of the tunes @Pheebs included while I'm at it :P

(I may or may not have cheated and pre-downscaled and dithered it because otherwise it would take three minutes to load lol)

@nytpu @Pheebs listening to it struggle to play e1m1 while browsing a floppy and loading a gif is just such a good encapsulation of using old hardware

@nytpu @Pheebs not even that, but the cooperative multitasking model of classic macs.

@dragonminded Hmm, I swore QuickTime (which is what's actually doing the MIDI playback) used preemptive multitasking since it recommended installing the Thread Manager extension, but I guess probably still cooperative (or maybe preemptive but with limitations, dunno, I've never programmed for classic Mac OS)
