Notes

gollark: Please don't use mouse_move. PLEASE.
gollark: <@297722510064091140> True. I must note, though, that recent CC versions (1.7 and up maybe?) allow computers to disable booting off disks, but also allows them to be put into disk drives and their files viewed.
gollark: <@297722510064091140> People can run `rom/programs/ls` and `rom/programs/edit` to see the real filesystem quite easily.
gollark: <@236628809158230018> Yes, I do.
gollark: What benefits would flash drives/CDs actually *have* over floppy disks?
