      Right there with you, after what they did with the season that doesn’t exist (season 9, I refuse to acknowledge it) I don’t trust them with this property. The whole appeal of the show was JD and Turk’s growth, and of course the Cox rants. Also what’s the point without Ted.

          (only barely tangential to your point but) I mean, I also played the Oregon Trail and I’m definitely a younger millennial.

            I’m not gonna gatekeep, but was it on a floppy drive? We played it in school on 5.24” floppies.

            I recently played a Floppotron video for my 7 year old and he was skeptical that computers sounded like that when games loaded.

            We didn’t even get into the 14.4 modem sounds it took to see a webpage.

              Ah; you have a fair point, there. I’ve never used a 5.24". I actually didn’t know it was released on those.

              I recently played a Floppotron video for my 7 year old and he was skeptical that computers sounded like that when games loaded.

              Haha; I know I’m biased since, as a developer and someone interested in computers, I’m also more aware (even if I’ve never used) of older tech. but it is would just how much things have changed.

              We played it in school on 5.24” floppies.

              Tech around that time depended a lot on what was affordable. Like I had 5¼ floppies at home but school had Apple IIGS with 3.5" drives that we used for Oregon Trail.

              Also wikipedia is telling me that 5.25 floppies were actually 130 mm, which would be 5.1". I guess “five and a quarter” rolls of the tongue better so they rounded up.
