Gosh I wish I had thought of a great trolling name. I'm surprised he didn't call himself BigDick.

Shirley it should be BigDisk (or BigDisc)Originally posted by SueEllen View PostGosh I wish I had thought of a great trolling name. I'm surprised he didn't call himself BigDick.
OP, a "disk drive" could refer to a Hard Disk Drive, a Floppy Disk Drive, a Laser Disk Drive, a Compact Disk Drive, a Digital Versatile Disk Drive, a Bluray Disk Drive, and possibly others as well.
A "Compact Disk Drive" or "Compact Disc Drive" (your latest version of your request) will not play DVD or Bluray, so if any of us provide you with links to those, you'll then whine that we are stupid/terrible.
Since you know so much, but it takes you 50 posts to say so, why are you wasting all our time with your BS?…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Don't blame me, it was Billy Biro who started spelling it correctly. If you don't believe him, try being all scientific and type "Blu-ray dis" into Google and see whether you get a c or a k.Originally posted by WTFH View PostShirley it should be BigDisk (or BigDisc)

FloppyDisc would be more appropriate.Originally posted by WTFH View PostShirley it should be BigDisk (or BigDisc)
BTW why if one of us regulars starts posting crap and annoying mods we get told off and if we continue we get banned, but if you are a newbie who does it you are allowed to post crap for ages ?"You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

It's floppy disk or Blu-ray disc. Keep up at the back.Comment

Stop trying to pass the buck. You totally mis-specced your requirements and now you want to blame everyone else for your own failings.Originally posted by hugebrain View PostDon't blame me, it was Billy Biro who started spelling it correctly.
