"take advantage of modern hardware, (2) fit on a single floppy disk" that's kinda funny using the works modern hardware and floppy disk together. Tell me where you would even buy a floppy disk or a floppy disk drive.

Amazon sells both. I have no use for either and think "fits on a floppy disk" is not a very useful metaphor anymore but Amazon still sells them.

Would "fits twice in a modern web page" be a better description?
