Pro tip. If you are using a plugin to force HTTPS, then you will be redirected from<p>- <a href="https://archive.assembly.org/..." rel="nofollow">https://archive.assembly.org/...</a>.<p>to<p>- <a href="http://www.assembly.org/..." rel="nofollow">http://www.assembly.org/...</a>.<p>And you will get a bunch of 404s
What is interesting is that it's possible to throw a disk (69m) further than a CD (68m). Perhaps the hole in the CD makes a difference, or the disks are smaller overall?
