By the way, do floppies float or sink? Anybody has a damaged disk to test?
Being mostly plastic, I suppose they would float but not sure.

Got no Amiga, but still got most of my disks from the Amiga days, about 500 or so.

Well i really cannot be bothered to count them all

... but i must have around 200+ original boxed/cased/loose games, probably another 300+ pirated games and loads of cover disks and apps... so maybe approx 700~800 disks in total

None.

I can contribute all my disks (~3 full double-row boxes) to this project, lol

Surely the number of floppies that you need to go around the earth depends on where you go around, you'd need less if you went around mainly on the sea, if theres any hills you need to get over, youll need more...

Dont think I have any floppys left anymore

Could go around from north to south at the 0.line instead of around equator? At least we wouldn't need as many as if going east-west...... I think :/

Think about it.. The land has different heights depending where you are, and so does sea level! The higher up we go, the more disks will be required!

Well if we dont get enuf disks then perhaps bippy has just volunteered to dig down to the earths core and place a ring of DD Disks around that.

so how many disks have we got so far and how far will they reach end to end or on top of each other ??????
