Good to know 3.5 inch floppies come into use again in the 31st century. I've been using mine as coasters

Heh. There was at least one scene in a BattleTech novel - a 'Gray Death' story, I think - which made a big deal about how BattleMechs were not equipped to pick up video transmissions.
Seriously.
You got the feeling that the insides of a 'Mech's cockpit - behind all the glass-fronted analog dials, brass switches, and clutch levers - it was all just a mess of clockwork and vacuum tubes.

Ha! Sad but kind of true.
Mind you, I think I'd really enjoy playing a diesel punk version of Battletech!

Friend of mine combined Mechwarrior and Shadowrun once, but the game mechanics are impossibly complicated trying to adapt to battletech. A round takes long enough as it is. A shame though

I think BattleTech is just stuck in a permanent 80s throwback era. With giant robots. Mechpilots probably have cassette decks in their cockpits as well.

LOL. I guess we'll see how modern giant robots work when Pacific Rim comes out! I'll keep my eyes peeled for casette decks...
