Editing Floppy Disk Container

'''The Floppy Disk Container''' sits on the right of [[Strong Bad]]'s computer desk and shows the latest program that he's been running. [[The Brothers Chaps]] sometimes comment on the featured game in their [[strongbad_email.exe|DVD]] commentaries. This page catalogs the appearances of the Floppy Disk Container. Each section has a screenshot, the name of the toon(s) or email(s) in which it appeared, a brief explanation of the game mentioned on the floppy disk, and sources of supplementary material about said game.  The majority of the labels are names of computer games (although several [[Nintendo|Nintendo Entertainment System]] and [[Atari 2600]] titles also appear) and most are obscure titles from the '80s. Strong Bad also [[Couch Mumbling|mumbles]] SNES games in his sleep, but these are generally newer and less obscure. This has become a running joke, and although the first Floppy Disk Container appeared in the email [[little animal]], the disks were not labeled until [[ghosts]]. They are usually labeled in red marker, though in some of the early appearances they were labeled in blue.

They were replaced by 3.5 inch floppies in the early 1990s, which have since been mostly replaced by compact discs and USB flash drives. The first floppy-less personal computers were made by NeXT, and many modern computers replace the floppy drive with an 8-in-one memory card reader. The 5.25 floppy disk was also featured in [[technology]], outside of the Floppy Disk Container. || [[Wikipedia:Floppy disk|Wikipedia]] [http://computer.howstuffworks.com/floppy-disk-drive1.htm Howstuffworks] [http://www.accurite.com/FloppyPrimer.html Accurite.com]
