A strange story and a masterpiece intro
"Do you know how many of these you can fit on a 1.44Mb diskette?"
Yeah, you probably do. The answer, by the way, is 1.474.560/61.952=23,8. Or maybe 42. Or maybe you have to take into account the space allocated for the boot sector, the FAT and the root directory.
