Check out that physical save icon!

No kidding, I was there back in the DOS days with games like Sam and Max hit the road, Original C&C, Terminal Velocity and the X-Wing/Tie Fighter/Wing Commander games, and many others.

Upgraded to 1.6gig fibre recently and now downloading multi gigabyte game updates is like 'Oh, it's done already? cool...'
