Floppies were where it was at for us

I never knew anyone with a zip disk

My family had a zip drive growing up. Then again, my dad is a doctor, so our income might have had something to do with it.

I’ve got a handful of zip disks, but no drive. I asked on the town bulletin board and nobody else seems to have one I can borrow. It was a short-lived intermediate format, so I’m not surprised.

super popular at universities and schools where stuff wouldn’t fit on 1.44mb floppies.

they died at astonishingly fast rates, often starting the click of death after a few weeks of read/writes. fucking iomega.
