If youāre thinking of buying this remember that many people in this world use the phrase ānever forgetā in Holocaust remembrance. Post-9/11, Iāve said this myself and heard many fellow veterans and service members say ānever forgetā in regards to that tragedy. Even if I could look past that, as a software engineer, I should be the target demographic, but we know 1.44 MB was a misnomer as they erroneously divided 1440 kB by 1000 instead of 1024. āNever forgetā isnāt even how storage media works (there is no permanence, data can be deleted)ā¦ so this design is inadvertently disrespectful/offensive, while failing so hard to be funny or clever.
I canāt thank you enough for your post. I was too miffed to realize the shirt also missed the point.
FAIL
Sorry I do not associate ānever forgetā only with 9/11. I find the shirt mildly humorous.
On top of it you get huffy about 1.44 MB. If it was listed in binary it would be listed as 1.44MiB. Considering there were also a variety of different formats that gave very different capacities, it is not surprising that a standard marketing name was used.
Floppy disks arenāt memory, theyāre storage. Although the lines have been blurred somewhat by super-fast SSD these days, there is still a key distinction between the two. MB vs MiB aside, itās not a memory limit, itās a storage limit.
Google ānever forget shirtsā the use of ānever forgetā has been done for many designs that do not have anything to do with tragedy. Right or wrong, itās all out there, same goes with ādonāt tread on meā, etc.
This argument reminds me of all the VENN diagram shirts. There is always a handful that get all twisted because the diagram is not correct, but the people buying them still understand the reference enough to find the humor.
Maybe, but people born recently probably have no idea what that image represents.
My old Apple II+ used actual floppy disks, which had even less storage ā 140 KB on a 5-1/4" disk. And it was so much better than loading things from cassette tapes. 
Not cool Woot. And to those arguing its been used it other placesā¦that doesnāt make it right. Would you use the phrase āA Day that will live in infamyā out of context with other images? Pretty tone deaf.
Hi all. I appreciate the discussion thatās going on here. Cool thing that weāre allowed to have differing opinions. Just continue to keep it civil.
yea agree, thanks
Iām surprised there was no discussion of floppy disk write protection. While Iām old enough to remember even 5 1/4" disks, I was today years old when I heard about creating āflippy disksā with a hole punch to write on the other side.
How many disks shipped with Win 95?
If you guys are pissed at inaccuracies, you should totally vote for my JURASSIC park shirt.
Actual dinosaurs from the Jurassic period and in an actual park:
Shirt.Woot 
Iām mildly offended there isnāt a teeter-totter.
I agree with Pepper.
