Well, let's examine that theory. Episode 3's patch checks in at approximately 500 MB. For the sake of argument, we'll assume that Episode 4 will be twice that, since it's a combination of the original Episode 4 and the old Episode 5. A typical floppy disk holds 1.44 MB of data on a good day where the average temperature is a balmy 21.1 degrees Celcius with a wind speed of no more than 5 mph, and occasionally requiring the sacrificing of a goat at midnight. In such conditions, it would take 695 floppy disks to hold the entirety of the patch, and at a transfer speed of 1 Mbps, about 5 and a half days to install, minus overhead.

So yeah, it's conceivable. :P
So what if I am, huh? Anyways, I work better when I'm drunk. It makes me fearless! If I see a bad guy, I'll just point my sword at him and saaaaaaaaaay, "Hey! Bad guy! You're not s'posed to be here! Go home or I'll stick you with my sword 'til you go, 'Ouch! I'm dead!' Ah-ha-ha!" Ha-ha. *hic* See? Ain't no one gonna be messin' wit' ol', Benny!

Hey, it's not my fault! I spent most of my time watching Toonami growing up. The movies I was allowed to see were all G or PG rated until maybe around 2000, if even. I wasn't actually allowed to watch the Matrix until like, 2005 or something.

Aw, I guess I'll forgive you.  Just this once. ;)

Vizzini is a character in The Princess Bride.  He's a Sicilian, and is very smart.  You ever heard of Socrates? Aristotle? Plato?  Morons.  He kidnaps Princess Buttercup and then challenges The Man in Black to a battle of wits.  He has to choose which wine goblet has poison in it, so then they will decide who is right and who is dead.

:rofl: SUCH a quotable a movie.

He was from The Princess Bride? I did see that. Quite recently, actually. I saw it in senior year of high school after making a bet with one of my teachers back in freshman year that if I genuinely didn't like it, he would owe me five bucks. If, however, I did like it, I owed him a candy bar of his choice. He damn well better be enjoying that Snicker's bar right now... It'll be the last one he ever gets from me...

You saw The Princess Bride and yet you don't know who Vizzini is?! Inconceivable!
