“I say! I say there boy! I can’t see a dang thang with that paper on the windshield!”

I had to stop by the bank on Saturday morning — the parking lot was empty. When I stepped out to the car, a crow was standing in the parking space next to me. I took on photo of him, and then got closer for a second shot. He just stood there, kind of like Foghorn Leghorn, cocked his head sideways and gave me a “Go, I say go away boy, you bother me” look.
What does a stack of 3.5 inch floppy diskettes and Foghorn Leghorn have to do with each other? Nothing other than floppies are about as useful these days as our sign is in keeping people from bothering us in the IT Dept. But after I had to drag the old, dusty stack of floppies out of the server room for WCW to extract some old CAD files from, I realized that in relative terms, a cartoon of an anthropomorphic rooster and that set of floppy diskettes were about the same age. Foghorn Leghorn made his debut in 1946, making him 67 years old. 3.5 inch floppy diskettes were first introduced in 1982, which makes them 32 years old, but we have to apply Moore’s Law (processor speeds double every two years) to anything associated with computers, so in computer years, the floppies are 64 years old, making them and Foghorn Leghorn virtual cohorts.
