Some time ago i was wondering about what the Mandelbrot set would look like if you used split-complex numbers \((j^2=1)\) instead of regular complex numbers. Turns out it's BORING. It's a SQUARE. Some points do still exhibit some interesting behavior when iterated, which is nice at least.

For your edification, the most common form factor of floppy disks:

5¼ inch (no metal door thing)
3½ inch (the one the save icon was modeled after)

There were also 8 inch (used before 1980s mainly), and various not very successful 3 inch, 2½ inch and 2 inch formats.

Note that while the form factor might have been the same, a lot of diskettes aren't mutually software compatible between systems.

There's physical sub-formats (e.g. one sided, hard sectors, varying supported densities due to magnetic properties etc.) too.

I never noticed this until today. At the very very end of our Q&A session, the Cooper Hall editors intentionally overlaid this specific song with this specific lyric, where the fair use song cutoff time limit makes a dramatic point: "without love..." (end video) "where would you be right now?" 💛 youtube.com/watch?v=ouwlIHkXCw
