In the title text, he mentions also finding an " Animorphs Novel", which may be a text copy of one of the original books or a fan fiction of the Animorphs series (his reaction of quickly eradicating it may either be to prevent him being caught with a presumably-illegal copy of an Animorphs book or as a result of embarrassment at his fan fiction - the former is less likely than the latter considering some of the other files mentioned, so it is most likely a fan fiction). In the 1990s, during AOL's heyday, 10+ GB hard drives were prohibitively expensive and a terabyte of data was unimaginable to most users.ĭeep down, Cueball discovers several files he is surprised about, including a poetry file which embarrasses him as he does not remember writing poetry. As of 2019, $200 could buy you at least an 8 TB portable external hard drive. When the Zip Drive first came out, it cost $200 USD (plus $20 per 100 MB floppy). The sizes of the files decrease as Cueball goes deeper, since data storage has gotten cheaper over time. These files are meant to be analogous to the fossils and artifacts found in lower, older rock layers. These older folders serve as a time capsule of sorts, storing old files from AOL, NYET, and Kazaa. The result is that files from high school have survived in his present-day machine. Therefore, the "Documents" folder contains an "Old Desktop" folder, which contains a folder with files recovered from an older system, which itself contains a "My Documents" folder, which contains a folder with files copied from a Zip Disk from high school. The files are in concentric layers because each directory is embedded in the previous directory. The layers of the pile are arranged much like geological rock formations where older strata are deeper down than younger layers. This comic came out the day after Sky News published the story of original Andy Warhol artwork, created in 1985 on an Amiga 1000, which was recovered from recently found floppy disks.Ĭueball is shown literally digging through a pile of old files which is a metaphor for looking through old files on his computer.

Comments: 302 Kudos: 243 Bookmarks: 64 Hits: 10743 Therefore he dared a deed which is justly renowned among the feats of the princes of the Noldor: alone, and without the counsel of any, he set forth in search of Maedhros and aided by the very darkness that Morgoth had made he came unseen into the fastness of his foes. Long before, in the bliss of Valinor, before Melkor was unchained, or lies came between them, Fingon had been close in friendship with Maedhros and though he knew not yet that Maedhros had not forgotten him at the burning of the ships, the thought of their ancient friendship stung his heart. Then Fingon the valiant, son of Fingolfin, resolved to heal the feud that divided the Noldor, before their Enemy should be ready for war for the earth trembled in the Northlands with the thunder of the forges of Morgoth underground.
