Various technology-based elements of [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] mention '''numbered floppy disks''', usually by referring to '''"Disk ''x'' of ''y''"'''. In keeping with [[Strong Bad's Technology|other themes of outdated technology]], this refers to terminology used by software distributed on {{w|floppy disk}}s or {{w|CD-ROM}}s. Larger programs would require the use of multiple disks; for instance, operating systems requiring multiple disks for installation or a game requiring the user to remove and replace the current disk to progress to the next part of the game.
