Long long ago, but in a galaxy not so far away (in fact, in this very galaxy), there lived floppy. Smaller and sturdier than its predecessor, it was also abler. It reigned on the desktops for years, but like all mighty kings it came to an abrupt end when the extraordinarily mighty CD came to the fore. But we, the faithful followers of (once) mighty floppy did not budge. Large pieces of code (so called software) were thrown at us, which the floppy was too weak to handle, but it did not fear. A new ally of floppy emerged, called 'file splitting software'. Those among you as ancient as me might rememeber it. Floppy managed to survive, for a while at least.
Times changed, floppy drives disappeared, and splitting softwares vanished. Even the mighty CD was surpassed by Flash drives and DVDs. And it seemed no harm would come our way even if we forgot our past. But it was not to be so. Yesterday I wanted to transfer a movie to my laptop. File size: 7.94GB. Pen drive capacity: 7.46GB. I can create a network / do a HDD to HDD transfer. But I am biased. I'll just go ahead and split it. If only for old times sake! :)
Enjoy!
