Will AI Bots Replace Chess.com Mods?

That's the big question: Will AI bots replace the mods here? A related question is, if so, will it be better or worse than now?

I wonder if Erik is working on this...

So where did they dispose of the bodies?

Can you believe those animatronics still use 3-1/2" floppies? :-)

By the way, I recently bought a box of 3-1/2" floppies, but they're formatted for Mac. When I eventually open the box, I'll try to reformat them for IBM. I'm hoping there's no physical difference between the Mac and IBM disks and that it's just the formatting that's different.

I bet your Windows machine even has the original internal disk drive. Or is "vintage" disk drive more accurate?

What do plan on doing with the floppies?

I have a handful of old PCs with floppy drives. (For playing old games.) I actually have quite a number of floppies, but these are the first ones I've run across in Mac format. These old "retro" PCs typically use the old IDE hard drives, which can still be found, but it's getting harder to find them. As an experiment, I might try using a SATA hard drive with an IDE-SATA adapter and see if that works.

I had an old original IBM 5150, but I got rid of it. One of my big regrets. I think it had something like a 30 MB MFM hard drive, and two 5-1/4" low density floppy drives. I bought a math co-processor for it, and it was still slow as molasses.

Edit - I think I misspoke - maybe it was an XT (Model 5160). It definitely hard a small hard drive. I remember that the hard drive had a paper "bad sector map" attached to the drive. In the early days of hard drives, the manufacturer would note which sectors had been marked as bad when it left the factory.

Oh yeah, and I guess it only had one floppy drive. I think I remember having to swap out a lot of floppies in the same drive. (Drive A, drive B). It's been a long time, the memory gets a bit fuzzy...

We still haven't heard from Erik...
