The PLOP bootloader floppy and TI calculator caught my eye. Nice set!

Can you believe that I still often use that PLOP floppy? Super handy - and so funny to see old machines boot from USB (if it works)! I also remember those old Texas Instruments calculators when I was in grade 1. That’s getting further and further away every day! I was obsessed with them as a small kid. They were brought into the class in these rather serious cases with slotted foam, so they felt like real James Bond gadgets to six-year old me! Naturally, when I saw one at the thrift store, I had to grab it even if I didn’t need it!

I believe it. I still miss the starfield background on PLOP.
