Fun fact: the "megaflop" is an obsolete unit of storage capacity, equivalent to a million 3.5" high density floppy disks, or 1.34 terabytes.

@foone I vaguely remember pushing for 'floppy furlongs' as a unit of space capacity many years ago (equal to the storage capacity of a furlong of stacked 1.44MB disks). Sounds like it needs refreshing

@sunoo excuse me which one of us has a floppy disk as their profile image? I think I know more about floppy disks than you!

@foone We need more of these ridiculous units. Like for example a "megapunch", equal to a million IBM punch cards, or around 80 megabytes.
