Here is the Model III in action... demonstrating how to have the least possible fun with it.

I love how he aggressively bends the disk before putting it in the disk drive in the beginning! He took "floppy disk" literally. Also, I love how the mortgage example is a $40,000 house at 16% for 10 years. Geez. While the interest rate is laughably high compared to today, the cost of the house or length of term is not. My house costs over 10x that and my term is 30 years.

I recall seeing another video in this series, but I can't recall what it was on.
