"okienoodling"? Is that noodling in OK, a way to catch catfish? Came across some guys in Arkansas a few years back that were "noodling", catching catfish by sticking their arms into the jaws of the catfish. Never realized there was a tournament for that.

26" disk?! I remember working with 12" ones but have never seen a 26! Just to give you folks a historical perspective I paid just about $2000 for my first 20 MEG hard drive 25+ years ago.

I have to wonder how fragile that hard drive would be?

LOL, I remember working on hard drives like that...
16 platters, 32 heads and 125MB of storage. High tech stuff 25 years ago.
We called them "washtub" drives. When they got out of allignment they would shake so much they would walk accross the floor.

Corrected grammar and spelling...
