Does anyone remember the game Syndicate? When it came out, I didn't have a CD-ROM drive yet. But I saw there was a floppy version I could install, so I got that.
It was on 19 floppies.
Longest, most painful install ever. Great game though.

Some Microsoft Office installations were 40+ diskettes. Thankfully, this kind of nonsense was quickly replaced by CD-ROMs.
I recall buying a massive box for C++ at a computer show in the 90s, but I can't recall if it came with dozens of discs and/or whether it came with a massive printed reference book π
Now we gotta do this with Windows 11.
You better have at least 4x as many floppys at your disposal.
What do you think they'd do at an airport if you tried to check these in? Just how elastic is our Constitution?
Well, first you'd have to explain to the TSA guard why you have so many "save-file buttons," and after you crumble to dust you can easily drift away to catch your flight
Hey look, someone 3D printed a whole bunch of save icons.
