I thought I'd make a .GIF, not sure what you can use it for, but it looks cool...

This MIGHT be funny if it were not true...

That's odd When I go to the HRO website the page for the IC-R15 doesn't have that big "analog only" text like yours does. Maybe I'm on the wrong page?This MIGHT be funny if it were not true...

I can see it now,John was thinking about using windows 11 on an old PC for his dedicated SDR...
inserts last disk after a week of installing and gets the message

The number of disks is way out of proportion. Using FAT32 you'd have about a 1.38 MB floppy worth of capacity. Windows 11 pro is around 4.5 GB.
4,500/1.38 = 3,261 floppy disks.
Utilize PAR files.
I utilize PAR files now for my backups.
Edit-
With 4,500 MB (4.5 GB) of Window 11 data, and a 3.5" floppy drive reading at about 500 kbps, it'd take about 2.5 hours to install Windows 11 pro.
4,500/.5 = 9000 seconds. 9,000/60 seconds in a minute = 150 minutes. 150/60 = 2.5 hours.
Off to eBay to buy 3,261 floppy disks and use GSplit to break up Windows 11 and achieve a world record. LOL I still have a USB 3.5" floppy drive and USB Zip drive. I should totally see if my old data is still intact. That'd be kewel.
Nerd mode off.

About 30 years ago when most cars had metal bumpers, I was waiting for my wife in a parking lot. I watched a man jump start a car by pulling the donor car up to the dead car so the front metal bumpers were touching (ground side) Then he took two bumper jacks, put the top of each one on a positive battery cable, crossed the streams and completed a circuit.
Amazingly, the dead car started up.
I’m not fluent in electrical, but if 200 amps were going through the bumper jacks, if the current was still flowing and the jacks stopped touching, would putting a human in the circuit be dangerous?

I saw a movie about this way back when I was in high school auto shop. As long as you weren't touching the vehicle ground it was safe. Also don't let the bumper jack touch the grounded vehicle, sparks will fly.
