Just a quick note to respond to Marcus. I'll be back with a real FDK response before I post the last part.
I am quite well aware of the current size of HDDs. This comp is several years old and its 30 gig drive was considered small even then.
The number and reason here were chosen deliberately, partially as a joke.
The thing you're forgetting is that this is a "lost ep." While current comments stand in place of "fan reaction," the characters are all living in a time when the show was on the air. In specific, between Individual Responsibility (original airdate of April 16, 1995) and Whine, Whine, Whine (original airdate of May 14, 1995). Back then, 6 gigs
was huge.
Incidentally, that's part of the reason why the crew never refers to any of the comment givers by name (the closest they've come is calling Angelic Editor "Beta," but I just couldn't resist that one).
Anyway, it's easy to miss, but there was some thought put into the decision.
Thanks for taking the time to point it out, though. I hope you enjoyed the rest of the part.
Paul
P.S. General reminder: Since the next part is the last, the comments in this thread are the last ones the crew will be able to respond to.
